Erdeno F1

Stability and Yield Potential

For professional vegetable growers targeting the late-season market, the white cabbage Erdeno F1 from the Swiss breeding company Syngenta has long become a benchmark for reliability. This hybrid is the result of years of selection aimed at solving the primary challenge of long-term storage: the balance between head density and the ability to maintain marketability throughout the winter.

Agronomic Potential and Specifications

Erdeno F1 belongs to the late-maturing category with a growing season of 120–130 days from transplanting. The plant features a robust leaf canopy that provides reliable protection against pests, showing particularly high resistance to thrips. This is a critical factor for achieving premium quality produce suitable for extended sales in retail chains.

Key Benefits for Your Farm:

• Scalability: The recommended planting density of 25,000–30,000 plants per hectare allows growers to precisely forecast yield volumes.
• Head Geometry: The blue-green rounded heads, weighing between 2.0 and 5.0 kg, are ideal for both transportation and processing.
• Immunity: Genetic resistance to Fusarium wilt significantly reduces the risk of crop loss in areas with high infectious pressure.

The primary use for Erdeno F1 is long-term storage (3 to 6 months) and processing. Thanks to its excellent internal structure, the cabbage retains its firmness and nutritional quality even after extended storage periods. This makes it an excellent choice for farms aiming to supply the market during periods of peak pricing — in late winter and early spring.
