Primeseedco-Cabbage Green Star F1
-
Type: Open-pollinated (OP) early- to mid-season cabbage, ideal for smallholder and fresh-market growers.
-
Head Characteristics: Round, greyish-green heads; average weight approximately 1.2–1.5 kg; head diameter around 5–7 cm.
-
Climate Adaptation: Hardy in cool, moist seasons; tolerates mild frost. In drier or hotter conditions, flavor and flesh quality may reduce.
Pack Size & Seed Count (Estimated)
-
Small gardening packets (e.g., 3 g packets), typically containing 400–500 seeds each (comparable to standard consumer packs in South Asia).
-
Larger commercial sachets: 100 g to 1 kg—sized for small commercial growers (exact seed count may vary based on seed weight).
Agronomic Traits
-
Maturity: Early-maturing—usually ready in ~60–70 days from transplant (inferred from similar varieties like Green Challenger F1 and OP Green Star).
-
Market Use: Ideal for fresh-market consumption due to appealing head size, firmness, and flavor when grown in favorable seasons.
-
Planting Adaptation: Suited for cool-season production; can be double-cropped with other brassicas.
