Cantara

Stable yields in any climate: the benefits of the «Kantara» hybrid

For professional vegetable growers operating in greenhouse conditions, the balance between generative plant habit and robust resistance is critical. The "Kantara" hybrid from Rijk Zwaan addresses these needs, offering predictable production cycles and high marketability.

Core strengths

• Generative growth: The plant focuses energy on fruit set rather than excessive vegetative mass, simplifying canopy management and ensuring an early harvest within 40–45 days.
• Immune shield: High resistance to downy mildew, fusarium, cladosporium, and various mosaic viruses significantly reduces the need for chemical interventions.
• Market appeal: Dark green, heavily warted fruits (15–20 cm long) with a 3.2:1.0 ratio meet the stringent standards of the modern fresh produce market.

Why choose this hybrid?

Kantara is designed for intensive greenhouse operations. Thanks to Rijk Zwaan's high-quality genetics, it performs exceptionally well in glasshouses and polytunnels. It is forgiving of minor agrotechnical fluctuations, provided that a precise nutrition program is maintained. Its high yield potential requires consistent fertilizer management, but the payoff is a crop that stands out for both yield volume and visual quality.
