Variety description

10 August 2026

The first-generation hybrid Menhir F1 is frequently included in agronomic studies to compare morphological traits of cauliflower and its wild relatives. The inflorescences of this variety have a significant weight and meet modern quality standards required for breeding hybrids.

In scientific publications dedicated to the biochemical composition of the produce, the presence of titratable acids and ascorbic acid is noted in this variety. Precise data regarding maturity group, plant height, and disease resistance in open sources require verification from seed producers.
