Radish Autella

Technological Potential of Autella Radish

Hazera's breeding stack in the early root crop segment is traditionally based on the balance between vegetation speed and genetic defense. The 'Autella' radish is a result of advanced selection, adapted to light-deficient conditions of the autumn-winter and spring periods. This is a key factor for professional farms aiming to minimize risks when cultivating in both protected and open ground environments.

Agrotechnical Indicators and Phytosanitary Stability

The core of the hybrid is its resistance to pathogens that critically reduce marketability during off-season production. The genetic code of 'Autella' includes built-in protection against:

• Downy mildew (Peronospora) — a major risk under high humidity conditions.
• White rust — a fungal infection that causes root deformation.

These parameters allow for a reduction in the intensity of fungicide treatments, directly impacting production costs and the environmental purity of the root crop.

Yield Formation and Physical Properties

With a maturation cycle of 20–25 days, 'Autella' ranks as an ultra-early solution. From a technical perspective, Hazera breeders have focused on the following aspects:

• Commercial Appearance Stability: The rounded shape of the root is maintained even under peak stress, with individual fruit mass ranging from 20 to 25 grams, meeting standards for premium packaging.
• Color Pigmentation: A vibrant red hue ensures shelf appeal, while the dense skin minimizes the risk of cracking during moisture fluctuations.
• Planting Density: The recommended density of 2.0–2.5 million units/ha allows for efficient greenhouse space utilization, providing predictable yields per square meter.

Integrating 'Autella' into a crop rotation is a commitment to technological efficiency: predictable market entry times and high disease resistance during critical developmental phases allow farmers to better plan logistics and sales strategies.
