Variety traits
Rheum rhabarbarum L.
The subterranean part of rhubarb, known as the "crown," acts as a perennating organ and a key indicator of plant productivity. The mass of the crown determines the yield potential of the petioles and the suitability of planting material for plantation operation.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Rhubarb, where this is mentioned in the description.
In rhubarb agrotechnics, the rhizome is considered a storage organ, the condition of which directly affects the productivity and longevity of a plantation designed for an operational life of up to 10 years. The primary quantitative indicator of rhizome development is crown mass, expressed in kilograms.
Studies show that crown mass is highly dependent on the propagation method: vegetative division or micropropagation allows for achieving values of 2.51–3.33 kg by the second year, whereas the seed method yields a significantly lower mass, approximately 0.54 kg. A more robust crown serves as a quality criterion for seedlings and determines the efficiency of plant forcing in protected ground after the winter dormancy period.
