ROSBERG

Early Harvest Stability

The early white cabbage hybrid 'Rosberg' from the Swiss breeding company Syngenta is designed for growers who prioritize consistency in intensive farming conditions. The hybrid is tailored for the fresh produce market, where the primary success factors are marketability, head density, and resistance to diseases during spring temperature fluctuations.

Technical Specifications

With a vegetation period of just 40–50 days (after transplanting), this hybrid ensures a quick turnaround. The rounded, vibrant green heads reach an optimal weight of 1.0–2.0 kg, making them perfectly suited for retail chains and wholesale markets.

Protection and Efficiency

The standout feature of Rosberg is its clear resistance to Fusarium wilt. This reduces the need for costly fungicide applications early in the season and minimizes crop loss risks on pathogen-affected soil. The plant shows strong initial growth, which is vital for achieving a rapid 'farm-to-table' harvest cycle.

Why Choose This Hybrid?

• For commercial growers focused on the fresh market and early-season yields.
• For farmers aiming for a planting density of 50,000–60,000 plants/ha to achieve uniform head size.
• For those who want to mitigate risks related to Fusarium wilt during early development stages.

While Rosberg is not intended for long-term storage, it excels in the early cabbage segment by combining consistent head formation with a robust and healthy root system.
