crop Chicory,
where this is mentioned in the description.
For modern varieties under industrial cultivation, root yield ranges from 30–45 to 55–60 tons per hectare. When assessing this indicator, it is critical to consider not only the gross harvest but also the marketability of the root crops and their conformity to the requirements of mechanized harvesting.
The final production volume is significantly influenced by plant density, ensured by sowing pelleted seeds, as well as the fertilization program, including the application of nitrogen fertilizers and trace elements such as boron and cobalt. The efficiency of cultivation is determined by the yield of dry matter and inulin per unit area.
