Variety description

10 August 2026

The Zebu RZ F1 hybrid belongs to the savoy type. The plant is vigorous, forming thick, oval, dark green leaves with a pronounced textured surface. Due to its structure, the variety has high marketability and is suitable for pre-packaged products, mechanized harvesting, and industrial freezing.

The variety possesses high resistance to downy mildew (races 1–10, 12, 15) and intermediate resistance to races 11 and 13. The hybrid is characterized by a slow growth rate and resistance to bolting, which allows it to be grown in the spring-summer and autumn periods, as well as using baby leaf technology.
