Yield — Broccoli

Brassica oleracea L. (Broccoli Group)

A complex indicator consisting of the weight of marketable central and lateral heads, which are formed due to the crop's high remontant capacity.

In the reference 30 varieties crop Broccoli, where this is mentioned in the description.

Broccoli yield is measured by the weight of marketable heads in tons per hectare or kilograms per square meter. Unlike other cabbage types, broccoli is capable of producing secondary lateral heads from leaf axils after the main head is harvested, which is accounted for when determining the total crop volume. Harvesting is conducted upon reaching technical maturity, while the buds remain tightly closed.

Commercial yield indicators for broccoli range from 19.8–20 t/ha under average conditions to 27–29 t/ha with optimized agronomic practices. The most critical factors affecting production output are planting density, temperature conditions, and moisture availability. Temperatures above +25°C negatively affect head quality by causing looseness, and delayed harvesting leads to yellowing and disintegration of the inflorescences, which reduces marketability.
