Lexicon

Consistency and Yield Potential

The Lexicon white cabbage hybrid by Syngenta is a choice for professionals focused on long-term storage without compromising quality. In today's market, where high standards for vegetable presentation are paramount, this hybrid addresses the farmer's primary need: to produce a harvest that remains marketable through mid-spring without internal degradation.

Field Protection and Resilience

The main differentiator of Lexicon is its comprehensive genetic protection. Fusarium wilt is often a significant threat to cabbage fields, but this hybrid shows strong resistance to the pathogen. Equally important is its immunity to internal necrosis, which frequently occurs during temperature fluctuations while the head is forming. Furthermore, the density of the wrapper leaves provides an effective barrier against thrips, which is crucial for delivering a clean, premium product suitable for both the fresh market and processing sectors.

Agronomic Specifications

• Maturity: 120–130 days from transplanting.
• Head weight: 2.0–5.0 kg, making it versatile for various retail formats.

Who is this hybrid for?

Lexicon is engineered for growers with storage facilities who plan to market their produce throughout the winter and spring (up to 6–8 months). Its robust root system and stress tolerance help mitigate cultivation challenges, though it reaches its full potential when optimal planting density is maintained. It is a reliable tool for those who prioritize predictability and high-quality output over risky alternatives.
