Cashmere

Early hybrid Cashmere F1, developed by the Japanese seed company Sakata, is characterized by high yield and quality. The vegetative period is 55–60 days after transplanting seedlings into open ground or under temporary coverings. The plant is compact with tall, upright leaves featuring a waxy blue-green coating that closely cover the head, protecting it from sunburn and preserving its market appearance.

The heads are round, dome-shaped, dense, and snowy white, weighing from 0.7 to 2 kg. The harvest matures uniformly, allowing for mass harvesting. The cabbage is highly resistant to low temperatures, high humidity, and various diseases, making it suitable for cultivation in spring, summer, and autumn. The plant prefers loamy soils and requires regular watering 2–3 times per week, as well as three mineral feedings to achieve maximum productivity.

Hybrid Cashmere F1 is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under plastic coverings. Due to its high adaptability and resistance to climatic fluctuations, it performs well under various conditions. The cabbage is intended for fresh market sale and is widely used in culinary applications due to its large, dense, and juicy heads that maintain their market appearance for a long time after harvest.
