Season Overview

Description

Chicory cultivar for commercial cultivation with good yield, suitable for soil and water forcing without cover crop. Uniform white-yellow shoots, well closed and firm. Wuzel harvest in October. For forcing medium-early to medium-late, shoot harvest from mid-November to late January. Medium-strong foliage.

Growing tips

Note: sow more densely and singulate to specified spacing. Early seeds are susceptible to bolting. Roots with good sprouting ability are more likely to develop on mineral soils with low nitrogen supply. Timely singulation is important for uniform root development. Root harvest in fall (October). Pinch leaves but do not injure growing point, store in cool place if possible. After a storage period of at least 2 weeks, darken in several sets. To do this, place roots upright in soil or sand and water thoroughly. Propagation time at 12°C soil temperature at least 4 weeks.
