Focus on Storability and Immunity: 'Yamori' Napa Cabbage

In the Napa cabbage segment, producers often balance yield with the ability of the crop to survive until mid-winter. The 'Yamori' hybrid from the Dutch company Ikasido Global Group B.V is a solution for those who plan to sell not only during the main season but also after extended storage.

Why does 'Yamori' stand out among competitors?

The main challenge with Napa cabbage is its vulnerability to soil-borne pathogens and bacterial rots, which destroy the appearance of the crop in storage. 'Yamori' features strong genetic protection, implemented by breeder Igor Shevchenko, making it a preferred choice for professional growers:

• Clubroot resistance: Its resistance to clubroot allows for cultivation on problematic plots where other varieties might succumb to root infections.
• Immunity to rots: Thanks to high resistance to soft bacterial rot and powdery mildew, heads remain dense and clean even under challenging storage conditions.
• Marketable weight: Heads weighing 2.0–3.0 kg fit supermarket standards perfectly, offering consumers the ideal size for household use.

Who is this hybrid for?

'Yamori' is a tool for farmers focused on the fresh market with the potential for deferred sales. Unlike early-maturing varieties that require immediate sale, this hybrid provides predictable results during long-term storage. However, keep in mind: high density and storability require strict adherence to cultivation practices. Excessive nitrogen feeding during high-humidity periods can reduce storage potential, so balancing nutrition during the head-formation phase is crucial.

This variety from Ikasido Global Group B.V addresses the need for a reliable, disease-protected product that will not lose its form or marketability after 3–4 months in storage.
