Cabbage Zacapa

Long-term Storage Potential

For agricultural enterprises targeting the off-season market, the late-maturing hybrid 'Zakapa' by Bejo is a strategic asset. With a growth cycle of 140–150 days, this cabbage variety is designed for farmers who prioritize yield stability and long-term storage (up to 8 months). Its genetic resistance to vascular bacterial rot is a key factor in reducing crop losses in professional storage facilities.

Field Performance and Market Utility

The Zakapa cabbage produces dense, dark green, round heads ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 kg. This weight range is ideal for both fresh market retailers and processing plants that require consistent raw material for sauerkraut or shredded products. Furthermore, the hybrid's natural tolerance to thrips and alternaria helps farmers optimize their crop protection programs, leading to lower production costs.

• Planting Density: By adjusting density to 30–40,000 plants/ha, growers can effectively control head sizing to meet specific contract requirements.
• Handling: The dense head structure ensures excellent transportability, maintaining high quality even after long periods of storage.

Zakapa from Bejo provides the reliability needed for high-yield operations that require predictable performance from field to market.
