Cabbage IKORKA

Reliable Yield for Long-Term Storage

The “Iskorka” red cabbage variety is designed for growers who prioritize predictability and field resilience. Developed by the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Production, this variety offers a significant advantage: high resistance to Fusarium wilt. This reduces the need for aggressive fungicide applications, simplifying your spray schedule and protecting your profit margins from field losses.

Field Performance and Handling

As a mid-to-late maturing variety, it requires 130–140 days from transplanting to harvest. The plants produce dense, tight heads weighing between 1.0 and 2.0 kg. The deep purple color is highly marketable, and the physical structure of the cabbage allows for efficient manual harvesting with minimal damage, as the heads are not prone to cracking under standard handling conditions.

Logistics and Market Value

• Storage Capacity: One of the key operational strengths of this variety is its storability; with proper climate control, the product remains in prime condition for 3 to 6 months.
• Marketability: Perfectly suited for both the fresh market and long-term supply chains. Its uniform size and consistent quality make it an ideal choice for retail-oriented production.

If you are looking for a robust variety that performs consistently throughout the season and stays fresh in storage until spring, "Iskorka" offers the reliability and operational ease required for commercial success.
