Wild cabbage VARNA F1

Red cabbage Varna F1 is a late-maturing hybrid developed by the Japanese seed company Sakata. This variety is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses using seedling method. The vegetation period ranges from 110 to 120 days, allowing for mature heads weighing 1.5 to 3 kilograms. The heads are oval or round in shape with a deep purple color and a dense waxy coating. The internal structure is compact with a short stalk, making it especially attractive for fresh consumption and use in vitamin salads.

Hybrid Varna F1 exhibits high resistance to fusarium and tolerance to pests such as thrips. Thanks to its strong root system, the plant continues to grow even at high temperatures, ensuring a stable and high yield. The recommended planting density is 35-40 thousand plants per hectare, which contributes to maximizing marketable production. The cabbage withstands long-term storage and transportation without losing its quality, making it popular in fresh markets.

For successful cultivation of this variety, it is recommended to follow fertilizer application norms: 120 kg of nitrogen, 50 kg of phosphorus, and 110 kg of potassium per hectare. These agronomic practices contribute to obtaining a high-quality and abundant harvest. Varna F1 cabbage is suitable for both long-term storage and fresh consumption, making it a versatile choice for farmers and consumers who value taste and nutritional value of the vegetable.
