Marlo F1 is a mid-season, high-yielding hybrid of white cabbage developed by the Japanese company Sakata. This variety is characterized by high plasticity and hardiness, allowing it to be successfully grown in various climatic conditions, including heat and drought. The plant is not demanding regarding soil and grows well both in open ground and under plastic film cover. The vegetative period is 90-110 days, and the head mass reaches 3-5 kg. The cabbage has a round, dense shape with bright light-green leaves and a dense white structure inside, ensuring excellent marketability and resistance to damage during transportation.
One of the key features of the Marlo variety is its high resistance to fungal diseases, such as fusarium and vascular bacterial wilt. Heads do not crack or bolt, significantly improving the quality of the harvest. Due to its high glucose and fructose content, as well as an increased level of vitamin C (10-14% higher than other varieties), Marlo cabbage has a pleasant sweet taste and excellent texture. After pickling, it retains leaf elasticity, acquires a golden color, and has reduced acidity, making this variety an ideal choice for pickling and salting.
Marlo F1 cabbage is characterized by good uniformity and a long storage period in the field, allowing for harvesting at optimal times and keeping freshness for up to 4 months. Planting density is 42-44 thousand plants per hectare, contributing to high yield. This hybrid is suitable for both fresh consumption and processing, providing a stable and quality product with excellent taste characteristics.
