Planita F1

A Benchmark in Processing-Grade Cabbage

Planita F1 by Monsanto stands as a robust solution for commercial growers focusing on the processing market. As a product of US-based breeding, this hybrid has established itself in the mid-season segment, providing producers with consistent performance in diverse climatic conditions.

Field Performance and Characteristics

The hybrid demonstrates excellent adaptation to intensive farming practices. With a transplant-to-harvest cycle of 70–80 days, it allows for efficient harvesting scheduling. The round-flat shape of the head is specifically engineered for automated processing lines, ensuring minimal waste during shredding while maintaining high density.

• Disease Resistance: The genetic defense against Fusarium wilt significantly lowers crop loss risks, particularly in fields with high disease pressure.
• Planting Strategy: The recommended planting density is 25,000–30,000 plants per hectare. Adhering to these parameters ensures each head reaches the ideal weight and density required for industrial applications.
• Storage Capability: Despite its primary use in processing, Planita F1 boasts an impressive storage window of 3–6 months. This gives farmers the flexibility to manage their supply chain effectively, holding stock if market prices are unfavorable at harvest time.

Planita F1 is the choice for professional growers who prioritize reliability, disease tolerance, and market versatility. Backed by the rigorous breeding standards of Monsanto, this hybrid remains a staple for those seeking a predictable and high-quality harvest.
