Wild cabbage KHARKIVSKA ZIMNYYA

Reliability for Long-Term Winter Storage

The "Kharkivska Zymova" variety, developed by the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the NAAS, is a benchmark for growers focused on high-yield vegetable production. Its primary advantage is consistency, delivering predictable results even under intensive cultivation conditions.

Agronomic Profile and Resistance

With a 140–150 day maturity period from transplanting, this variety requires precise irrigation and fertilization management. A key reason for choosing this variety is its inherent genetic resistance to vascular bacteriosis. This significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, helping farms optimize production costs.

Logistics and Market Value

The round-flat heads, weighing 3–4 kg, are perfectly suited for standardized packaging and retail supply chains. The gray-green foliage retains its market appeal throughout the storage period. The variety demonstrates exceptional shelf life: under proper temperature controls, the harvest can be stored for 6–8 months without compromising density or quality.

• Processing: High dry matter content makes this variety suitable for fermentation (sauerkraut), ensuring an excellent product texture.
• Storage: An ideal choice for storage facilities equipped with active ventilation systems.
• Harvesting: The dense structure of the head allows for efficient mechanical harvesting with minimal physical damage.
