Skywalker F1 hybrid cabbage is a medium-maturing hybrid developed by Dutch breeders at Bejo Zaden. This variety is highly resistant to extreme growing conditions, including high temperatures, making it especially valuable for farmers and farms seeking a stable and high-quality harvest. The plant forms a medium-sized, vertical rosette with leaves that effectively protect the white flower heads from overheating and sunburn.
The heads of Skywalker F1 cabbage are round, dense, and moderately ribbed, with a weight ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 kg. Due to their dense structure and attractive appearance, the fruits are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing, including freezing and packaging. The hybrid demonstrates excellent performance under extended growing conditions, broadening its application in various agronomic settings.
Skywalker F1 cabbage is primarily grown using seedlings, ensuring simultaneous head maturity and convenient harvesting in one operation. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to prepare the site in autumn, including soil tilling and application of organic and mineral fertilizers such as compost and superphosphate. During the growing season, regular watering, soil loosening, and shading of heads are essential to prevent overheating. The long storage life of the crop on the plant without loss of appearance makes this hybrid a versatile and profitable choice for various farms and restaurant businesses.
