Menzania

Menzania F1 — this is a high-yielding hybrid of white cabbage developed by SEMINIS from the Netherlands. The crop belongs to the mid-late maturing varieties with a vegetation period of about 100-120 days. The plant is robust, forming flat-round heads of gray-green color with dense internal structure and weight from 4 to 8 kg. Heads are highly uniform and positioned high above the soil surface, facilitating harvest and promoting quality yield formation.

One of the key advantages of this hybrid is its broad leaf canopy with tightly adhering leaves, which effectively protects the plant from pests and facilitates rapid water drainage from the base, preventing fungal diseases. Menzania F1 cabbage is free of bitterness, making it ideal for fresh consumption, cooking dishes such as cabbage rolls, as well as for processing and pickling. The hybrid has good transportability and can be stored for 6-7 months, maintaining its flavor and quality.

Moreover, Menzania F1 demonstrates high resistance to Fusarium wilt and tolerance to thrips damage, ensuring stable yields and reducing risk of losses. Recommended planting density is 25-30 thousand seeds per hectare, allowing for guaranteed high-quality yields both in open ground and in protected cultivation.
