Cabbage Spello

Stable Yield for the Fresh Market

The Spello white cabbage hybrid from the Dutch breeding company Wing Seed is a professional choice for growers focused on early and mid-early market delivery. With a maturation period of 70–80 days after transplanting, it allows for precise harvest scheduling, helping to fill market gaps for fresh produce during the mid-season.

Agronomic Characteristics

The plant produces compact, uniform, rounded heads. A head weight ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 kg serves as the 'gold standard' for retail chains and local farmers' markets. These heads are easy to package, transport, and display, fitting efficiently into crates and appealing to consumers due to their high commercial quality.

Practical Field Scenarios

• Harvest Sequencing: Thanks to its reliable maturity timeframe, Spello is ideal for maintaining a consistent supply chain, ensuring high-quality produce reaches the market when demand is highest.
• Culinary Use: The density and flavor profile of this hybrid make it a top choice for salads, soups, and vegetable processing.
• Logistics: The ability to store the harvested crop for 1–2 months gives the grower flexibility, allowing them to wait for better market prices during periods of temporary oversupply.

Opting for Spello means leveraging Dutch plant genetics that guarantee uniform maturity, predictable head size, and excellent density, which minimizes handling damage and losses during transport.
