Chicory varieties for the mid season<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text 16px” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The chicory varieties for use in the mid-season are shown below. These varieties need a growth period of 150-160 days. Wait for favourable sowing conditions for these varieties and ensure they have enough days to grow. Depending on the root properties, these chicory witloof roots can be used for forcing after six to eight weeks in cold storage and can then be forced for approx 4 months depending to the variety, maturity and quality of the root and the storage conditions of the roots. As these varieties have had more days to mature as well as a longer storage period, they can generally be forced at lower forcing temperatures (16-18 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Chicory First Lady<\/h3>\n

With Chicory witloof First Lady (OK-356), Chicosem is introducing its flagship variety within the new generation of Hoquet chicory hybrids. These new varieties are all about quality-based productivity. First Lady is a chicory witloof variety with a number of highly favourable characteristics. Not only is it extremely productive, it also has excellent quality. First Lady has a very long shelf life and optimal sorting with a beautifully formed head.<\/p>\n

New standard<\/h5>\n

First Lady is strong during the field phase and offers an extremely high and uniform root yield. In the forcing room develops the variety a short pith and strong leaf. Thanks to these positive characteristics, First Lady is a reliable alternative for a substantial part of the forcing cycle until late summer. We would not be surprised if First Lady were to become the new standard in the broad mid-end segment.<\/p>\n
