Hybrid Cabbage INDICA PLUS is a widely adapted variety that can be grown year-round in most horticultural regions of Zimbabwe and Southern Africa. It is highly uniform, with a marketability rate of at least 80% on the first harvest. While relatively late-maturing, INDICA PLUS is an excellent choice for producing extra-large heads and has strong field storage capacity. The heads are oblate in shape, very firm, and have a small core, making them ideal for shipping. This variety also offers resistance to black rot.
