A durable, high-yield hybrid with proven resistance to Fusarium and thrips, built for long-term storage.
Description
The Benchmark of Reliability in Large-Scale Farming
When it comes to white cabbage designed for long-term storage, Syngenta’s Aggressor F1 has held the title of the industry benchmark for years. It is more than just a hybrid; it is a guarantee of predictable results in environments where other varieties fail due to disease pressure or erratic weather.
Why Professionals Prefer This Hybrid
The core strength of Aggressor F1 lies in its remarkable plasticity. The plant features a vigorous root system, allowing it to efficiently draw moisture and nutrients even in less-than-ideal soil conditions. Unlike modern hybrids that often demand intensive, costly fertilization programs, Aggressor maintains stable performance under standard agricultural practices.
Defending Your Harvest
In large-scale operations, minimizing losses is the key to profitability. Aggressor F1 provides built-in genetic protection against common agricultural threats:
- Thrips resistance: The dense outer leaves act as a physical barrier against pests.
- Fusarium wilt: The hybrid shows excellent resistance, making it suitable for fields with a history of fungal infections.
- Necrosis prevention: When grown following recommended protocols, the heads exhibit superior resistance to internal necrotic spotting, ensuring premium shelf appeal during spring sales.
Storage and Economics
With a maturity period of 110-120 days, this variety produces dense, round heads weighing between 2.0 and 5.0 kg. The attractive blue-green color is not just aesthetic; it indicates the high structural quality of the leaves. With a storage potential of 3 to 6 months, this hybrid is a strategic asset for growers aiming to supply the market during the winter and spring periods when prices peak.
Planting Density Recommendations
To achieve the ideal market weight (averaging 3 kg), it is recommended to maintain a planting density of 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare. Denser planting can result in smaller heads, while excessive spacing may lead to overgrowth, which can negatively impact the long-term storage quality.

Maturation (seedlings)
By the length of the vegetation period, cabbage varieties are conditionally divided into three maturity groups: early maturing (100 — 120 days), mid-season maturing (120 — 150 days), and late maturing (more than 150 days). When sowing cabbage seeds in March — April, cabbage seedl... |
