Ramenos

Why Ramenos by Hazera is a Staple for Professional Growers

When selecting a hybrid for long-term storage and market distribution, predictability is key. Hazera’s Ramenos cabbage is designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale commercial farming. With a maturity period of 120–130 days, it allows for strategic harvesting cycles, ensuring you reach the market when demand peaks.

Field Performance and Maintenance

Managing a crop of Ramenos is straightforward for those focusing on efficiency. At a planting density of 60,000–70,000 plants per hectare, the hybrid provides uniform head development. The heads are compact and round, weighing in at a consistent 2.0–3.0 kg, making them ideal for both fresh market retail and industrial processing. A significant advantage in the field is the natural resistance to thrips, which reduces the reliance on heavy insecticide applications and minimizes the labor costs associated with cleaning the harvest.

Storage and Profitability

Storage losses are the enemy of profitability. Ramenos excels here, boasting a storage shelf-life of 3–6 months. This allows you to avoid the "harvest glut" and wait for better seasonal prices. Its high tolerance to Fusarium means less risk of crop failure and fewer post-harvest surprises. Key benefits for the operator include:

• Versatility: Excellent quality for fresh sales, shredding, and fermentation.
• Operational Ease: The compact head shape facilitates mechanical handling and manual harvesting.
• Cost-Efficiency: Reduced need for aggressive pest management keeps your input costs under control.
