Unlike many competitors, this hybrid offers farmers a predictable outcome: with a maturity cycle of 40–50 days after transplanting, you get a high-quality head perfectly suited for both the fresh market and the processing industry.
Key Advantages
- Compactness and Density: Heads weighing 1.0–1.5 kg feature a uniform shape and high density, which is critical for logistics and storage.

- Agronomics: A recommended planting density of 35,000–40,000 plants/ha allows for optimal field space utilization without compromising plant health.
The main strength of Opal RC F1 lies in its resilience. The hybrid adapts well to various growing conditions without sacrificing head quality. For growers, this means minimized waste during harvest and the ability to flexibly plan sales—from fresh market distribution to freezing or canning.
