Kilaherb F1

Why Kilagreb F1 has become the gold standard for infested fields

When clubroot progresses in a field, farmers often face a tough choice: switch crops or spend a fortune on soil treatments. The Kilagreb F1 hybrid from Syngenta is the solution that eliminates the nightmare of Fusarium wilt and clubroot. From a grower's perspective, this isn't just seed—it’s a technological tool that allows for a marketable harvest where standard cabbage would simply fail in a single season.

Field performance and maintenance

Planting requires discipline. To unlock the full potential of this hybrid, we maintain a density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare. Under these conditions, the heads reach a solid 2.0–5.0 kg. The plant is vigorous, with well-developed blue-green leaves that provide added resistance to pests. A growing season of 100–110 days allows for efficient planning of a late-autumn harvest.

Storage and marketability

The main advantage of Kilagreb F1 for us is predictability. The round shape is ideal for logistics, and the heads are dense and non-cracking. After harvesting, we move the crop into storage, and 3–6 months is the standard range for it. It keeps exceptionally well in vegetable storage facilities, maintaining its market quality. This is crucial if you aren't selling directly from the field but rather targeting the winter market when prices are higher.

• Resistance: Full immunity to Fusarium wilt and clubroot (the primary value of the hybrid).
• Economics: Enables cultivation on problem soil while saving on soil-borne pathogen fungicides.
• Versatility: Excellent for both processing and long-term fresh market storage.

If your soil is "tired" from intensive cabbage cultivation and showing signs of disease, switching to this Syngenta hybrid is the smartest way to maintain your farm’s profitability.
