Variety traits

Yield — Kale

Brassica oleracea L. (Curly kale Group)

The yield of kale is determined by the mass of marketable leaf foliage harvested in multiple pickings throughout the growing season. The indicator is measured by weight and expressed in tons per hectare.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Curly kale, where this is mentioned in the description.

The crop is characterized by a 'cut-and-come-again' harvesting method, where leaves are removed close to the stem as they grow, ensuring an extended production period. Yield depends on planting density, nitrogen supply, and cultivation method, with intensive techniques such as hydroponics allowing for significantly higher yields compared to open-field cultivation.

In open-field conditions, the yield of modern kale hybrids ranges from 28 to 32 t/ha. Since specific nationwide standards for this group of cabbage are lacking, productivity assessment in agronomic practice is conducted by comparison with a standard cultivar within the framework of a specific variety trial.
