Satie F1

Consistent Yields and Easy Storage

When working with Dutch genetics, you expect predictability, and the Sati F1 hybrid from Nickerson Zwaan delivers exactly that. It is a variety that forgives minor agronomic errors, showing high field performance. With a planting density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare, the crop maintains excellent uniformity, producing solid, dense heads weighing between 2.0 and 3.0 kg.

Field Performance and Disease Resistance

The biggest challenge in white cabbage production is disease and pest pressure. Sati F1 demonstrates a robust defense system: it shows high resistance to Fusarium yellows and vascular bacteriosis. Particularly noteworthy is its resistance to thrips, which significantly reduces the budget for chemical treatments, as the crop remains healthy until harvest without the need for intensive pesticide applications.

Storage: From Field to Market

With a maturity period of 120–130 days, Sati F1 allows for late-autumn harvesting. The main advantage of this hybrid is its long shelf life. Under proper storage conditions, you can count on 6–8 months of quality preservation. The heads maintain their dark green color and firm texture, which is critical for the fresh produce market in spring when high-quality cabbage fetches a premium price. Furthermore, the variety is excellent for processing, as the leaf density minimizes waste during shredding.

• Type: Mid-late maturing white cabbage.
• Management: Standard agronomic practices; highly responsive to irrigation.
• Economics: Ideal for long-term storage and high-margin market sales.
