Regent F1

Stability and Quality from Clause: The Potential of Regent F1

French breeding from the Clause company is traditionally associated with reliability in the open-field vegetable segment. The white cabbage hybrid Regent F1 is a standout performer in the brand’s professional portfolio, designed for producers targeting both the fresh market and industrial processing. In the modern agribusiness landscape, where requirements for marketability are constantly rising, this hybrid maintains a strong position due to its predictability and resilience against challenging growing conditions.

Agronomic Profile and Resistance

The primary challenge for farmers when growing cabbage is often the pressure from pests and soil-borne pathogens. Regent F1 features genetic resistance to Fusarium wilt, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss in areas with high infection pressure. Notably, it exhibits strong resistance to thrips—pests capable of ruining the appearance of cabbage heads in a matter of days. By choosing this hybrid, growers gain an "immune" insurance policy, minimizing the need for intensive insecticide applications.

Technical Parameters and Commercial Application

With a maturity period of 60–70 days, Regent F1 is classified as a reliable mid-early hybrid. Its physical characteristics are perfectly adapted to the demands of retail chains and processing plants:

• Mass and Shape: Compact heads weighing 1.0–1.5 kg feature a domed, slightly barrel-like shape, making them highly convenient for packaging and logistics.
• Color and Structure: The deep green color remains vibrant even after transport, which is critical for the fresh market.
• Storage: The hybrid stores well for 2–3 months post-harvest, providing farmers the flexibility to hold inventory during temporary market price fluctuations.

To achieve optimal results, a planting density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare is recommended. This density allows for healthy plant development, resulting in firm, high-quality heads without compromising overall yield potential.
