Colored cabbage Cortes F1 — a medium-maturing hybrid, distinguished by high yield potential and excellent market quality. The plant forms uniform, dense, compact heads of round shape, white in color, weighing 2 to 3 kilograms. The vegetation period is 75-80 days, allowing harvest from early July to the second half of October. Cortes has a strong rosette of blue-green leaves with wavy edges, as well as high self-shading ability, which contributes to maintaining head quality and market appearance.
This hybrid is characterized by high plasticity and stress resistance, capable of enduring hot and dry conditions, making it suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under temporary coverings. Plants require moderate watering and regular fertilizer application, including nitrogen and phosphorus-potassium blends, as well as loosening and weeding to maintain health and productivity. To preserve whiteness and market appearance of heads, whitening — fixation of leaves over flower heads — is recommended.
Cabbage Cortes F1 is valued for its excellent taste and juicy flesh texture, making it versatile for fresh consumption, cooking various dishes, as well as freezing and winter preservation. The hybrid exhibits synchronized fruit ripening, disease resistance, and suitability for long-distance transportation without loss of quality, making it an excellent choice for both personal farms and commercial cultivation.
