ZYKLOP F1

Professional choice for the processing industry

Cyclop F1 by Sakata is a highly specialized white cabbage hybrid engineered for the processing sector. Unlike general-purpose varieties, this Japanese hybrid focuses on industrial-grade performance, delivering consistent weight and structural integrity required for large-scale operations like shredding and pickling.

Field performance and disease resistance

The primary advantage of Cyclop F1 is its robust genetic resistance to Fusarium wilt. For commercial farmers operating in areas with high soil pathogen pressure, this resistance is a critical insurance policy against crop failure. With a growing cycle of 80–90 days, the plant manages to form dense, heavy heads while maintaining excellent field standing ability.

Technical specifications

• Head weight ranging from 2.0 to 5.0 kg is ideal for mechanized harvesting and efficient processing line throughput.
• The round head shape helps minimize raw material waste during automated processing.
• The green leaf coloration remains consistent, ensuring high-quality raw material for fresh-cut or processing applications.
• A recommended planting density of 30,000–35,000 plants/ha ensures adequate space for nutrient uptake and root development.

Cyclop F1 is best suited for growers supplying the pickling and salad manufacturing industries. The density and texture of the cabbage heads ensure that the quality is preserved after processing. To achieve the maximum yield potential, it is recommended to maintain a precise fertilization schedule, which allows the plant to reach the upper end of the weight range within the specified maturity window.
