Zenon F1

Efficiency in Long-Term Storage

For commercial farms aiming to supply the market with high-quality white cabbage well into the summer, Syngenta’s Zenon F1 has become a benchmark for reliability. The primary advantage of this hybrid is its exceptional storability, maintaining marketability for 8–10 months. This makes it an ideal choice for producers looking to hit peak market prices during the late spring season.

Agronomic Strengths and Plant Health

The practical value of Zenon F1 lies in its genetic resistance to field stress. Specifically, its resilience against Fusarium wilt and brown spot reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, optimizing production costs. Furthermore, the hybrid shows excellent resistance to internal tipburn, a common issue that often ruins batches intended for long-term storage.

Cultivation and Practical Application

To maximize yields, we recommend a planting density of 30,000–35,000 plants per hectare. Under these conditions, the hybrid produces firm, round heads weighing 3.0–4.0 kg, which are highly suitable for transport and handling.

• Long-Term Storage: Perfectly suited for modern facilities with active ventilation and climate control.
• Processing: The dense internal structure and high dry matter content make it excellent for industrial shredding.
• Maturation: With a growing period of 110–130 days after transplanting, the harvest window can be managed effectively to suit regional climate conditions.

By choosing Zenon F1, growers invest in a predictable outcome. The heads maintain their structural integrity and quality in storage for up to 10 months, ensuring that your harvest remains profitable long after the main season concludes.
