Variety traits

Fennel yield

Foeniculum vulgare Mill.

An economic indicator that varies depending on the intended use of the crop: essential oil production or vegetable consumption.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Fennel, where this is mentioned in the description.

For essential oil varieties, the seed yield at a standard moisture content of 12% is approximately 1.18–1.45 t/ha, with essential oil yield also being evaluated in kg/ha. Vegetable fennel is evaluated by the weight of the bulbs and foliage, where yields reach 4.0 t/ha for bulbs and 6.0 t/ha for foliage, or 1–2 kg/m² in intensive production.

Key productivity factors include variety type and photoperiod response: under long-day conditions, the plant is prone to premature bolting, which prevents the formation of marketable bulbs. Agronomic practices, such as hilling for bulb blanching and maintaining row spacing of 45–60 cm, are critical for realizing yield potential.
