Variety description

10 August 2026

The Metafora F1 variety is intended for forcing heads in the autumn-winter period. In professional catalogs, this hybrid is classified as obtained without the use of cell fusion methods.

In scientific studies, the variety was considered as an object of monitoring when studying a physiological disorder — head reddening. Studies have shown that susceptibility to this phenomenon is hybrid-specific.
