Parthenon is one of Sakata’s ‘new generation’ broccolis created as a result of extensive research and breeding programmes. Parthenon has achieved a new level of quality with its exceptional characteristics and versatility. Parthenon is a market leader broccoli variety worldwide. Parthenon is a vigorous stout plant that produces large heads of excellent quality in cold weather. The heads are a high dome shape with very small beads of a dark blue-green colour.  However, bead quality is adversely affected by warm weather. Parthenon is unlikely to develop anthocyanin (red pigment) build-up. This variety has very compact heads and thus excellent field holding ability, even if harvesting is delayed. Parthenon has an exceptional yield potential for both fresh market and processing. Excellent adaptability, reliability, quality, and high yields make Parthenon the first choice for cool season production.
