Adaptor F1

A Reliable Standard for Long-Term Storage

Adaptor F1 by Syngenta has established itself as a go-to mid-to-late maturing white cabbage hybrid for professional vegetable growers. Developed by Swiss breeding experts, this variety is specifically engineered for long-term storage and high-quality industrial processing. With a maturity period of 110–120 days from transplanting, the plant consistently develops dense, uniform heads weighing between 2.0 and 5.0 kg.

Agronomic Advantages

The primary strength of Adaptor F1 lies in its robust resistance to common cabbage threats, including Fusarium wilt and thrips. This resistance is crucial for maintaining crop health in intensive farming environments and helps reduce the need for excessive chemical treatments. The hybrid is easily identified by its characteristic rounded shape and attractive grey-green color, which remains appealing to consumers throughout the supply chain.

Production Economics

The recommended plant density is 35,000 to 40,000 plants per hectare, which ensures optimal head sizing for both fresh market retail and shredding/processing industries. With a storage capacity of 3 to 6 months in specialized facilities, Adaptor F1 provides growers with the flexibility to hold inventory and reach the market when demand for high-quality cabbage peaks in the off-season.
