Intro F1

Stable harvest of purple cabbage

When working with 'Intro F1' red cabbage from Bejo, the first thing you notice is the predictability of the vegetation period. In intensive vegetable farming, this hybrid proves to be a reliable tool for achieving marketable produce in mid-early timelines. A maturity period of 70–80 days from transplanting allows for planning a supply chain to the fresh market without unnecessary risks.

Agrotechnics and protection

One of the key features of 'Intro F1' is its natural resistance to Fusarium wilt. For a farm owner, this means reduced costs for fungicide treatments and confidence in maintaining plant stand density in the field. The plant has a balanced growth vigor, which simplifies maintenance during the growing season: inter-row cultivation and fertilization proceed routinely, without surprises in the form of excessive leaf mass.

Marketable quality and logistics

Heads weighing 1.0–1.5 kg are the "gold standard" for supermarkets and retail chains. The rounded shape simplifies packaging into nets and crates, while the density of the head guarantees excellent transportability. The purple color of the cabbage is vibrant, which is highly appreciated by customers on store shelves. Harvesting losses are minimal, and the uniformity of the crop allows for either mechanical harvesting or efficient selective manual picking.

• Optimal head weight: 1–1.5 kg.
• High density, preventing damage during transport.
• Excellent adaptation to conditions in the Netherlands and other regions.
• Minimal requirements for complex agrochemicals due to Fusarium resistance.
