KABRI

Technical potential of the Cabri hybrid

The French breeding school of Clause offers the Cabri hybrid as a balanced tool for conveyor production of white cabbage. The primary focus in the development of this genetics is versatility and adaptability to different maturity stages, which is critical for farms working both for the fresh market and the processing industry.

Morphological parameters and yield

A key feature of Cabri is its flexible vegetation period, ranging from 60 to 120 days depending on growing conditions and climatic zones. This allows agronomists to plan production output with minimal risk of over-ripening. The physical characteristics of the head are optimized for logistics:

• Head weight: ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 kg, allowing for the harvesting of marketable produce in various formats.
• Geometry: the round head shape facilitates dense packing in containers and minimizes mechanical damage during transport.

The high density of the internal structure provides excellent shelf-life, making this hybrid suitable not only for immediate 'field-to-market' sales but also for short-term storage or retail chains that require standardized appearance and durability.

Why it matters for practice

Choosing a hybrid from HM.Clause is a commitment to proven genetic purity. Under real-field conditions, Cabri demonstrates a stable response to intensive nutrient management. Due to its plasticity, the plant efficiently utilizes soil resources, forming a head with an optimal core-to-leaf ratio. This reduces waste during primary processing and manufacturing, ultimately increasing the return on investment per hectare.
