ASTERIX F1

European Excellence in Celeriac Breeding

The Czech company Moravoseed has established a strong reputation for developing resilient and productive vegetable varieties. The 'Asterix F1' celeriac hybrid, developed in collaboration with John Bertinat Seeds, represents a professional-grade solution for growers looking for consistency and reliability. Designed to perform across diverse European climatic zones, this hybrid has become a staple for those who prioritize predictability in their harvest cycles.

Agronomic Profile and Disease Resistance

The 'Asterix F1' is characterized by its efficient growth cycle, reaching maturity in 80–100 days. This makes it an excellent choice for growers aiming to supply the fresh market early in the season without sacrificing the size or internal quality of the root.

• Disease Management: A standout feature of this hybrid is its robust genetic resistance to Septoria (leaf spot), one of the most persistent threats to celery cultivation that often causes significant yield losses in humid environments.
• Yield Quality: The plants develop a compact leaf rosette and produce smooth, spherical roots with minimal lateral root formation. This structure is highly valued in the industry as it drastically reduces the time and labor required for cleaning and processing post-harvest.

Choosing 'Asterix F1' means investing in high-quality genetics that minimize the need for heavy pesticide intervention while maximizing yield potential. It remains a preferred choice for farmers who require a professional-grade celeriac that combines maturity speed, pathogen resistance, and market-ready aesthetics.
