Early-maturing cabbage with a unique 8-month storage potential and high resistance to root rot.
Description
Technical Specifications and Performance of Amarin F1
The Japanese breeding program of Kitano Seeds offers Amarin F1, a hybrid that combines rapid early maturity with a rare, long-term storage capacity in early-season cabbage. Its biological core lies in the optimal balance between growth rate and internal head density.
Agronomic Characteristics
- Growing Cycle: 50–60 days after transplanting, allowing for a steady supply chain for the fresh market.
- Head Parameters: Round shape, ideal for transport. A weight of 1.0–2.0 kg provides the perfect caliber for retail.
- Biological Defense: High genetic resistance to root rot and black leg (black rot). This is a critical factor for early-season planting when soil temperatures are low and pathogen pressure is high.
The standout advantage of Amarin F1 is its shelf life. While traditional early cabbages are not meant for long-term storage, Kitano’s selection process ensures this hybrid can be stored for 6–8 months. This is achieved through increased head density and a specific leaf chemistry that inhibits rot development during storage. Its high tolerance to fungal diseases minimizes the need for heavy fungicide applications, significantly optimizing the overall cost of cultivation.

Maturation (seedlings)
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... |
