Brussels sprouts Franklin F1 — an early hybrid developed by the Dutch company Bejo Zaden. The plant exhibits moderate growth vigor and forms round-oval-shaped heads that grow on tall stems and easily detach from the stem. The vegetation period is approximately 120-130 days, allowing for direct sowing in open ground in early spring and harvest in late October to early December.
The Franklin F1 hybrid possesses high resistance to diseases, including fusarium, as well as to bolting, which significantly enhances its productivity and value for farmers. The heads are dense, uniform, dark green, ensuring excellent market quality and good transportability. Genetically free of bitterness, this makes the cabbage particularly attractive for fresh consumption and freezing.
This cabbage variety is versatile in application: its yield is suitable for both fresh markets and processing and long-term storage. The recommended planting density is 25-30 thousand plants per hectare. Franklin F1 belongs to the precision seeds category, ensuring high seed quality and stable yields.
