Wild cabbage Lennox F1

Genetic Potential and Head Structure

Lennox F1 from Bejo breeders is a prime example of Dutch genetics focused on superior shelf life. The key feature of this hybrid lies in its internal density. With a head weight of 2.0 to 5.0 kg, the plant develops a very short internal core, which is critical for preventing premature sprouting during long-term storage.

Agronomic Performance

With a vegetation period of 130–140 days, Lennox F1 is categorized as a late-maturing hybrid. The gray-green leaf color indicates a robust waxy bloom, which acts as a biological barrier against pests and fungal infections. Technically, the plant demonstrates high resistance to Fusarium wilt — a trait engineered at the selection stage, enabling consistent yields even in fields with high soil pathogen pressure.

Production Optimization

• Planting Density: The recommended range of 25,000–30,000 plants/ha ensures optimal nutrient uptake and light penetration, allowing heads to reach their market weight without the risk of overcrowding.
• Storage: The hybrid's genetic architecture allows for storage of up to 8 months without loss of density or taste quality, making it a strategically important variety for maintaining market supply well into the spring.

Lennox F1 is a balanced solution for professional vegetable farming, where predictable outcomes during long storage cycles are a priority.
