Atlante F1

Reliable Yields for the Fresh Market

When selecting a hybrid for fresh market supply, farmers prioritize predictability and marketability. Atlete F1 from the Dutch breeding company Bejo is a tailored solution for growers planning their summer-to-autumn sales. With a maturity period of 80-90 days, this hybrid fits seamlessly into a professional vegetable production conveyor.

Agronomic Features and Practical Use

• Compactness and Logistics: An average head weight of 1.0–1.5 kg makes this hybrid a retail standard. Such heads are perfect for shelf sales without the need for trimming or cutting, maintaining excellent structural density during long-distance transport.
• Stress Resistance: Bejo’s advanced genetics allow the plant to develop consistently even during temperature fluctuations, which is critical for an 80-day growth cycle. The round shape and vibrant green color ensure high shelf appeal.
• Cultivation Management: The hybrid responds well to intensive irrigation and precision fertilizer management. Due to the compact size of the heads, growers can utilize tighter planting densities, thereby increasing yield per hectare.

The primary goal of Atlete F1 is to meet the market demand for premium, mid-sized cabbage. Unlike heavy-duty processing varieties, this hybrid is designed for the end-consumer who values juiciness and a delicate flavor profile. Using Atlete F1 allows farms to minimize losses during harvesting, as the heads reach maturity uniformly, simplifying logistics and planning for seasonal harvest tasks.
