Wild cabbage Yaroslavna

Reliable Storage and Disease Resistance

For growers focusing on late-season produce, 'Yaroslavna' offers a strategic advantage in minimizing post-harvest losses. Developed by the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the NAAS, this white cabbage variety provides a rare combination of robust immunity and excellent storability, making it a reliable asset for long-term farm management.

Agrotechnical Performance

With a 140–150 day maturation period, this variety requires precise planting schedules to reach its full potential. The result is consistently uniform, flat-round heads weighing 3.0–4.0 kg, identified by their distinct blue-green color. The core technical advantages include:

• High resistance to Fusarium wilt and Fusarium diseases.
• Superior tolerance against wet bacterial rot and various storage-related rots.
• Excellent shelf life of up to 6–8 months with minimal waste.

By leveraging the natural resilience of 'Yaroslavna', operators can significantly reduce their fungicide expenditure. The variety remains healthy throughout the growing season, allowing management to prioritize irrigation and nutrition over intensive disease control. Its dense structure ensures it remains high-quality for both fresh market retail and industrial processing.

Economic Impact

Choosing 'Yaroslavna' means choosing a predictable outcome. The minimal losses during storage allow you to control supply timing, ensuring you can sell your produce when market prices are optimal. For the operator, this variety represents a streamlined production process, lower maintenance costs, and a consistent, high-yield product that stands the test of time.
