Ferrara

Cabbage variety Ferrara F1 is an early, high-yielding hybrid developed by specialists from the company Hazera in the Netherlands. The maturation period is 65-70 days, allowing this variety to be grown both in spring and summer in open and protected soil. The plant is compact, with well-developed dark green or blue-green leafy foliage that grows vertically, effectively covering the heads. Head weights vary from 0.7 to 1.5 kg, with round shape, snow-white color, and dense structure, ensuring high-quality harvest and uniform ripening. Ferrara F1 exhibits high resistance to stress conditions such as sunburn, high temperatures, and short-term drought, as well as good tolerance to spring temperature fluctuations. The variety is resistant to diseases, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The plant requires careful adherence to agronomic practices and fertile soils to achieve maximum yield, with a recommended planting density of 35-40 thousand seeds per hectare. Ferrara F1 cabbage heads are suitable for any processing method and fresh consumption due to their dense and uniform structure. The plant forms marketable flower heads with a bumpy surface, partially covered by leaves, which enhances their preservation and aesthetic appeal. This variety is also recommended as an intercrop, expanding its application possibilities in crop rotation.
