KILACIS

Reliable Yields in Challenging Soil Conditions

For farmers managing fields with a history of soil-borne diseases, the "Kilacis" hybrid by Syngenta has become a practical solution. The primary hurdle in cabbage production is Clubroot, which can jeopardize an entire season. Kilacis provides built-in genetic resistance to both Clubroot and Fusarium wilt, allowing for predictable yields without the constant need for heavy fungicide application.

Key Technical Specifications

• Maturity: 80–90 days from transplanting. This mid-season hybrid fits efficiently into rotation cycles.
• Head Quality: Weighing in at 3.0–4.0 kg, the heads are uniform and round. They maintain high density, which minimizes mechanical damage during harvest and transport.
• Disease Resistance: Specifically bred to withstand Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) and Fusarium, significantly reducing plant loss in high-pressure fields.

Application and Storage

Kilacis stands out due to its versatility. Whether you are aiming for the fresh market or supply for processing, this variety delivers consistent performance. A standout feature for the owner is its storage capability: the heads can be stored for 6–8 months while retaining excellent leaf structure and commercial appearance. This is a massive advantage for those looking to wait for better price windows in the winter and spring months.

Operationally, Kilacis is predictable. The harvest window is uniform, making labor management easier. If you are looking to mitigate production risks caused by soil pathogens, Kilacis is a sound investment that pays off in both yield quality and post-harvest durability.
