Type
Type A large headed hybrid cabbage variety for the fresh market. STAR 3311 has been introduced specifically for the areas
where Black Rot is a serious problem.

Maturity
Early maturing. Approximately 75 - 85 days from transplant to maturity in summer. Maturity is very uniform with a high first
cut percentage.

Plant Characteristics
A medium to large frame that has an upright leaf habit. A plant population of 28,000 plants per ha is recommended for
single head marketing, and 35,000 - 40,000 plants per ha for bags. Plant population will influence head size. For larger head
size the plant population should be reduced to suit your needs.

of between 2,5 - 3,0 kg with an excellent flavour. The colour of STAR 3311 is a typical grey-green which is highly sought after
by market agents and hawkers. Care should be taken not to let the crop mature past the optimal period to prevent splitting.
