RINNA

Rinna Cabbage: French Genetics for Versatile Market Demands

Vilmorin-Mikado has designed the 'Rinna' cabbage hybrid as a strategic tool for farmers who need flexibility. In a market where supply chains are unpredictable, having a crop that fits multiple categories is essential. 'Rinna' is not just a standard white cabbage; it is a high-performance hybrid that excels in fresh market sales, processing, and short-term storage (up to 6 months).

Field Performance and Technical Specs

With a maturity window of 70–80 days, 'Rinna' offers the perfect balance between early entry into the market and a robust, high-yielding harvest. The round heads weigh between 3 and 7 kg, providing growers with the ability to manage the average head size by adjusting plant density. At a recommended density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare, you ensure optimal spacing and consistency.

Key Advantages:

• Versatility: A rare trait where a single hybrid performs equally well for fresh salad consumption and sauerkraut processing.
• Durability: Unlike many mid-early varieties, 'Rinna' retains its structural integrity, allowing for 3–6 months of storage.
• Yield Potential: The plant's vigorous growth habit provides excellent coverage, protecting the head from environmental stress.

For whom is this hybrid? 'Rinna' is an optimal choice for commercial growers who want to avoid the risks of single-niche specialization. While it handles large head sizes up to 7 kg, it requires consistent fertilization to reach its full potential. If you are looking for a reliable, French-bred cabbage that can bridge the gap between summer harvest and winter stocks, 'Rinna' is a proven asset for your crop rotation.
