Kilaton F1

Professional choice for disease-prone soils

Kilaton F1 by Syngenta represents a breakthrough in commercial cabbage production, specifically designed to address the challenges of soil-borne diseases. As a premium hybrid from Switzerland, it has become a staple for growers dealing with clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae), a pathogen that historically devastated white cabbage yields.

Technical specifications and market positioning

Kilaton F1 is a medium-late hybrid with a maturity window of 130–140 days. Its genetic profile is built around extreme resilience. The plant produces dense, round heads weighing between 2.0 and 5.0 kg. Beyond its signature resistance to clubroot, the hybrid is highly tolerant to Fusarium wilt and offers robust protection against thrips, which significantly reduces the need for heavy chemical applications.

• Marketability: Excellent internal quality with no signs of internal necrosis, making it a premium product for both fresh markets and processing.
• Storage efficiency: The cabbage boasts a superior storage shelf life of 6–8 months, allowing producers to hold stocks until the late-season price peak.
• Planting density: A recommended density of 25,000–30,000 plants per hectare ensures optimal head development and nutrient uptake.

The global reputation of Kilaton F1 is grounded in its reliability. It performs consistently across various climatic conditions, offering producers peace of mind on land that might otherwise be unsuitable for brassica production. Whether destined for long-term storage or industrial sauerkraut production, Kilaton F1 provides the economic stability required by modern large-scale farming operations.
