Wild cabbage NEGUS F1

An Engineering Approach to Cabbage Yield

French selection firm Clause focuses on the balance between vegetative mass and stress resistance in the 'NEGUS F1' hybrid. From a technical standpoint, this is a mid-season white cabbage hybrid that addresses the market segment 80–90 days after transplanting. The primary value for agronomists lies in its genetic protection architecture.

Biological Defense: Resistance to Phytopathogens

One of the key challenges in intensive vegetable farming is the infection of the root system by Fusarium and vascular bacteriosis. Clause breeders have integrated high-level tolerance to Fusarium wilt into the genome of 'NEGUS F1'. Practically, this minimizes loss risks in fields with a history of soil contamination and reduces the need for preventive fungicide treatments, directly lowering production costs.

Head Formation and Quality

The cabbage head features a compact shape and a dense internal structure. The weight ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 kg, which is the industry standard for supermarket retail and an optimal size for processing plants. The green leaf color remains stable during storage, and the high density of the head allows for long-distance transport without compromising visual appeal.

Agronomic Application

'NEGUS F1' demonstrates excellent plasticity across various soil types. Its versatile end-use makes it a reliable asset for growers: the cabbage is equally well-suited for the fresh market and industrial processing, particularly for fermentation, thanks to its balanced sugar content and leaf density.
