Yield of Leek

Allium porrum L.

An indicator of leek productivity, divided into total and marketable yield, where the key quality criterion is the weight and diameter of the blanched 'pseudostem' (shank).

In the reference 38 varieties crop Leek, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating leek yield, the total plant biomass is considered, and the marketable portion is calculated separately to determine the product output percentage. The primary morphometric parameters taken into account include the weight of a single plant, as well as the length, diameter, and quality of the blanched stem, measured in tonnes per hectare.

The potential yield of the crop varies from 15–20 to 50–60 t/ha. Values in the range of 45–58 t/ha are considered high and achievable under intensive cultivation technologies, whereas values below 20–25 t/ha typically correspond to extensive methods or unfavorable conditions.

Yield management is based on the selection of the cultivar type, growing season duration, and cultivation method. The use of transplants significantly increases productivity potential compared to direct sowing, and regular hilling is essential both for achieving a marketable shank appearance and for increasing the volume of marketable produce.
