NATALI

A Reliable Choice for Long-Term Storage

The 'Natali' white cabbage is the result of breeding work by the Educational and Scientific Center 'Vegetable Experimental Station' (a branch of the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing). Developed by a team of breeders led by S. M. Sirota and E. G. Sirota, this variety has firmly established itself in the market vegetable sector, focusing on long-cycle sales.

Agronomic Profile

Unlike early-maturing hybrids, 'Natali' demonstrates a calibrated development strategy aimed at forming dense, marketable heads weighing between 1.0 and 2.0 kg. This sizing is optimal for retail and pre-packing in supermarket chains, allowing consumers to purchase a single head of cabbage for weekly use without needing to store leftovers in the refrigerator.

• Appearance: Round-shaped heads with a gray-green color and a dense internal structure.
• Biological Protection: Genetic resistance to fusarium wilt significantly reduces the risks of crop failure caused by adverse phytosanitary conditions in the field.

Market Positioning

The primary specialization of this variety is the fresh market and long-term storage. Due to the density of the head and balanced biochemical indicators, the produce retains its marketable appearance and crisp texture for a long period after harvest. It is chosen by farmers looking for a balance between predictable yields and high storability, allowing them to supply the market during the winter and spring periods when high-quality white cabbage is in peak demand.
