Russian Winter

Reliable harvest even on soil affected by clubroot

If your field has a history of clubroot disease, finding a resistant variety is key to avoiding crop failure. "Russkaya Zima" (Russian Winter) by Sedek is a specialized solution designed to handle this exact challenge. The hybrid's genetic resistance to clubroot makes it a dependable choice for growers looking to maximize yield on infected plots.

Growth cycle and plant development

This is a mid-late variety that typically matures in 100–110 days after transplanting. It develops compact, round-flat heads weighing between 2.0 and 3.0 kg. This size is ideal for both professional storage and household use; the heads are dense, uniform, and less prone to splitting compared to early-maturing varieties, provided that irrigation is consistent.

Long-term storage potential

The name speaks for itself: this variety is built to last through the harsh winter months. One of its standout features is its exceptional storage capability, lasting up to 10–12 months under proper cellar conditions. You can effectively keep your produce fresh and firm until the following season. The internal core is short, which minimizes waste during preparation, and the leaf density ensures the cabbage remains crisp for a long time.

• Disease Resistance: Specifically developed to combat clubroot.
• Storage: Incredible longevity (up to 12 months).
• Consistency: Uniform 2–3 kg heads, perfect for market and home consumption.

Managing this variety is straightforward for any operator. It responds well to standard agronomic practices: consistent weeding, pest control, and balanced moisture. It is a predictable variety that rewards minimal maintenance with high-quality, long-lasting produce. For those prioritizing storability and disease resistance, this variety from the Sedek collection is a smart, time-tested investment for your crop rotation.
