SUDJETSU

Japanese Breeding for the Fresh Market

The «Sudzetsu» white cabbage is the result of years of research by the breeders at Kaneko Seeds, whose innovations are widely regarded as a benchmark for consistency in the global vegetable market. Within the «Sumit Agro» portfolio, this hybrid occupies a vital niche for mid-season varieties, specifically tailored to discerning customers who prioritize both visual appeal and culinary quality.

Agronomic Potential and Characteristics

The hybrid features a precise growing cycle of 80–90 days from transplanting. This growth dynamic allows growers to schedule harvests for the fresh market segment when demand for premium produce peaks. The plants produce compact, firm heads weighing between 1.0 and 1.5 kg. This specific size is highly sought after by modern retail chains, as it fits perfectly for household single-use portions.

Technological Recommendations

To reach target yield indicators and ensure high marketability, «Sumit Agro» recommends maintaining a planting density of 60,000 to 70,000 plants per hectare. Adhering to these parameters ensures proper head development while avoiding over-density, which often leads to poor lower leaf quality or fungal susceptibility. The hybrid displays high plasticity and adaptability to diverse soil and climate conditions—a hallmark of the Japanese breeding school at Kaneko Seeds.

• Optimal head weight for retail sales.
• Predictable 80-90 day maturity period.
• Consistent product quality driven by Kaneko Seeds genetics.

Choosing «Sudzetsu» represents a professional approach to vegetable farming, where every hectare delivers predictable results and the produce quality aligns with modern market standards.
