Sapsan F1 is an ultra-early hybrid of white cabbage developed by Greentime, distinguished by its high maturity speed and excellent taste qualities. This hybrid is ready for harvest as early as 42-45 days after transplanting, allowing for the first harvest in early summer. Sapsan F1 is successfully grown under cold temperatures and insufficient light, which is particularly important for early spring plantings. The compact plant rosette allows for dense planting up to 60,000 plants per hectare without compromising yield, and the hybrid is well-suited for cultivation in film greenhouses and under arched covers.
Sapsan F1 cabbage heads are characterized by high density and large size — standard weight is 1.0-1.3 kg, but some specimens reach 1.5 kg. A feature of the hybrid is the small size of the stalk inside the head with a sufficiently large outer part, which ensures reliable protection against rotting. The taste of the cabbage is tender and sweet, making it attractive to buyers and allowing it to be used fresh and for various culinary purposes.
The Sapsan F1 hybrid has increased resistance to major cabbage diseases, reducing the risk of crop loss and making it undemanding in care. High seed quality ensures excellent germination and stable yields. Thanks to the combination of maturity, marketability, resistance to unfavorable conditions, and superior taste, Sapsan F1 cabbage is a profitable choice for farmers seeking an early and high-quality harvest.
