Polar Cabbage: The Professional Choice for Long-term Storage

The Polar white cabbage, bred by Moravoseed, is designed for growers who prioritize long-term storage and high-quality processing. With a maturity period ranging from 120 to 150 days, this variety builds dense, high-mass heads that maintain integrity throughout the winter season.

Agronomic Profile and Crop Management

Polar is recognized for its robust growth habit, which allows it to thrive in various soil conditions. The round, grey-green heads reach a commercial weight of 3–4 kg. Its internal structure is particularly notable for its density and texture, making it a favorite for both industrial fermentation (sauerkraut production) and fresh market retail.

Practical Applications in Farming

• Storage Efficiency: This variety is bred to handle the rigors of mechanical harvesting and long-term storage in modern vegetable facilities with minimal loss.
• Processing: High density and excellent dry matter content ensure superior yield for food processors who need consistent, reliable raw material.
• Fresh Market: Its uniform, attractive appearance allows it to hold up well on retail shelves, particularly during the late winter months when high-quality cabbage is in high demand.

For optimal results, consistent moisture management is essential during the final phase of head development. Proper nutritional planning will enable you to achieve uniform size and weight, reducing sorting time and maximizing your marketable yield.
