Suitability for cutting — broccoli
Brassica oleracea L. (Broccoli Group)
A comprehensive varietal characteristic that determines harvesting efficiency due to plant morphological features that minimize manual trimming and the risk of damage.
In the reference 34 varieties crop Broccoli, where this is mentioned in the description.
Suitability for cutting in broccoli includes such traits as exerted heads positioned above the leaf rosette level, which simplifies access to the stem. Stem cleanliness implies an absence of excessive leaves in the cutting zone, which reduces the need for trimming and prevents the development of infections at leaf scar sites.
Important aspects include the uniformity of inflorescence maturity, allowing for single-pass harvesting, and the configuration of the inflorescences, ensuring easy separation during further processing. Optimal plant architecture is also important for maintaining the potential for secondary lateral inflorescence formation after the removal of the primary head.
