KILACEES

Field-Proven Resistance to Clubroot

For growers dealing with soil-borne diseases, the Kilasis hybrid by Syngenta offers a robust solution that turns problematic fields into profitable ones. Its standout feature is its genetic resistance to clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) and Fusarium wilt. While many varieties struggle with these pathogens, Kilasis maintains its vigor, ensuring consistent yields in areas where crop rotation challenges exist.

Agronomic Profile

Kilasis is a mid-to-late maturing cabbage with a growing period of 90–100 days. Unlike many resistant varieties that sacrifice quality for toughness, this hybrid delivers high-end market appeal. The heads are dense and round, featuring a deep dark-green color that remains attractive throughout the harvest window.

• Head Weight: Consistently ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 kg, perfectly suited for retail chains and wholesale markets.
• Versatility: A true dual-purpose performer. It excels both as a fresh-market product and as a reliable raw material for industrial processing, including fermentation (sauerkraut).
• Field Performance: High resistance to Fusarium wilt reduces the need for heavy chemical intervention, making it a sustainable choice for integrated farm management.

Who is Kilasis For?

This hybrid is an optimal choice for producers operating on soil with high disease pressure or in regions with high humidity that triggers fungal development. With a storage potential of 1–2 months, Kilasis is designed for mid-season turnover rather than long-term winter storage. It is the go-to variety for farmers who need predictable quality on difficult land. If you prioritize health, density, and marketability over long-term dormancy, Kilasis is a premium choice for your rotation.
