Variety traits

Vigor — Kale

Brassica oleracea L. (Curly kale Group)

A qualitative characteristic of the vegetative mass accumulation rate, which determines the speed of marketable rosette formation and leaf regeneration after cutting.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Curly kale, where this is mentioned in the description.

Vigor in kale is assessed by experts based on visual observation of seedling development and the regrowth rate of the foliage. This trait is relative and is always compared to a standard under specific growing conditions, lacking a strictly established numerical scale.

High vigor ensures intensive plant development, which is critical for crops subjected to multiple cuttings. Accelerated leaf regeneration after harvest and the ability to form marketable mass more quickly allow such varieties to better compete with weeds and more effectively overcome environmental stressors.
