Chicory Yield

Cichorium intybus L.

A key indicator of root chicory productivity, measured in t/ha and determined by the mass of the marketable portion of root crops, taking into account the agrotechnical and varietal characteristics of the crop.

In the reference 31 varieties crop Chicory, where this is mentioned in the description.

Chicory yield is assessed based on the mass of the marketable portion of root crops at a specified plant density, which is optimal for this crop at approximately 20 plants per square meter. During variety trials, records are kept on plots with multiple replications, and breeding success is determined by the new sample's yield exceeding the zoned standard by no less than 10%.

Chicory yield indicators under experimental conditions range from 23–26 t/ha using standard technologies to 39.8 t/ha for promising breeding accessions. The final harvest volume is critically influenced by plant density, seed material quality, mineral nutrition supply, and varietal characteristics, which determine root shape and suitability for mechanized harvesting.
