The DLTP farmers bought the Fordhook Giant variety from Royal Seed which:
Grows well, even in a hot climate
Has large and crumpled leaves
Grows to 65 cm

Always buy certified seeds. 95-100% of the seeds will grow, so you will use less seed. Certified seeds also:

They grow fast, strongly and uniformly".
Buy certified seeds from agrovets. Fordhook Giant seeds come in pack sizes of 10g, 25g, 50g, 100g, 250g and 500g.
