Cultivation

Field cultivation of Diplotaxis tenuifolia

Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC.

The cultivation of Diplotaxis tenuifolia in the field is based on its perennial growth cycle, high adaptability to temperature fluctuations from -15°C to +35°C, and the sensitivity of leaf flavor quality to intense light.

In the reference 17 varieties crop Perennial wall-rocket, where this is mentioned in the description.

Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a drought-resistant plant that prefers loose, fertile soils with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction in the pH range of 6.0–7.5. In open field conditions, seeding is performed at a depth of 0.5–1.5 cm from April to August, maintaining row spacing of 30–40 cm and a distance of 7–10 cm between plants, as overcrowding negatively affects yields.

During summer heat, the crop requires partial shading to prevent excessive bitterness in the leaves. Regular watering is critical for producing tender greens, although excessive moisture must be avoided. Harvesting begins 14–25 days after emergence, using the leaf-trimming technique for outer leaves, which ensures the continued vegetation of the perennial plant.
