Cheers F1 / ChiZ F1

Consistent performance for the fresh market

When working with cabbage, the key goal is to minimize field risks. The Cheez F1 hybrid from the French brand Clause is a reliable tool for commercial growers focusing on the fresh produce market. Over time, we have learned that this hybrid is highly predictable, which is often more important than pure yield potential for planning farm operations.

Built-in field resistance

Managing diseases like Fusarium wilt and vascular bacteriosis is usually the biggest headache for a producer. Cheez F1 significantly reduces this burden. Its natural resistance to Fusarium allows for successful cultivation even on high-pressure fields. Furthermore, the hybrid shows excellent resilience against necrosis, which is vital for maintaining the marketability of the heads until the point of sale.

Growing and harvest highlights

• Maturity: 70–80 days. This makes it an ideal mid-season option that fits perfectly into a continuous supply chain.
• Planting density: 35,000–40,000 plants per hectare. This spacing allows heads to reach a target weight of 2.0 to 5.0 kg without overcrowding.
• Appearance: The heads are round with a distinct bluish-green color. They have an attractive, fresh look that is highly demanded by retail consumers.

The main benefit of Cheez F1 is its uniformity. Under proper management, the crop develops evenly, making harvesting and grading much faster. You spend less time culling non-marketable product, which streamlines your logistics. The heads are dense and sturdy, standing up well to transport and handling, ensuring that the final quality remains as high as the potential yield.
