Colored cabbage SV5818AC is a medium-maturing hybrid for the main season, intended for cultivation in open ground with harvesting in late summer or autumn. The vegetation period ranges from 85 to 100 days, enabling harvest at optimal times. The plant is compact with large leaves that reliably protect the head from external influences, ensuring high product quality. The hybrid adapts well to various growing conditions and maintains productivity even under stress conditions, demonstrating plasticity to agronomic practices. The recommended planting density is up to 40,000 plants per hectare, contributing to maximum yield.
The heads are round, dome-shaped, dense and heavy, white in color, weighing from 1 to 3 kilograms, sometimes reaching up to 5 kg. The core is small, bearing a large number of neat florets tightly adhering to each other. This structure ensures excellent commercial and taste qualities, as well as prolonged storage life and good transportability over long distances. The hybrid's seeds exhibit high germination: 250 to 330 seeds per gram, facilitating planting planning.
SV5818AC is suitable for both fresh market sales and processing. The harvest is widely used for preparing hot dishes, stews, as well as for canning and freezing for winter. Seed production is carried out in the Netherlands by Seminis, guaranteeing high quality and reliability of the hybrid.
