Coriander Status

Professional Grade Cilantro: An Overview of the «Statut» Variety

In the competitive world of commercial green production, selecting the right seeds is crucial for ensuring a high yield of marketable leaves. The «Statut» variety, introduced by the Russian seed company Ooo Global Sids and breeder Dmitry Sergeyevich Gladkov, is specifically developed for producers focused on the leafy cilantro segment.

Why «Statut» Stands Out

Unlike universal coriander types often bred for seed spice production, «Statut» is engineered to optimize vegetative growth. This shift in focus offers significant benefits for intensive farming operations:

• Increased Leaf Yield: The variety excels in developing a robust leaf rosette, allowing for a higher volume of harvestable produce per square meter.
• Extended Harvest Window: By delaying bolting compared to standard varieties, «Statut» maintains leaf tenderness for a longer period, which is essential for shelf-life quality.
• Consistent Flavor Profile: It delivers the characteristic aromatic profile required by the culinary industry without excessive bitterness.

Who Should Use This Variety?

«Statut» is an ideal choice for greenhouse operations and market garden farms that operate on a continuous harvest cycle. Because Ooo Global Sids developed this variety with local climate conditions in mind, it provides the predictability that commercial growers need to meet supermarket supply contracts reliably. However, because it is an intensive variety, it requires strict adherence to moisture management; maintaining consistent soil humidity is vital to ensure the leaves remain tender and high-quality.

For growers looking for a reliable, performance-driven variety, «Statut» provides a balance of yield and quality that is essential for modern horticultural success.
