Variety traits
Papaver somniferum L.
The yield of opium poppy is assessed by the harvest of seeds and capsules, measured in centners per hectare. The indicator depends on plant population density and varietal characteristics that determine alkaloid content.
In the reference 41 varieties crop Opium poppy, where this is mentioned in the description.
When evaluating the productivity of opium poppy, seed yield is considered for oilseed varieties, and capsule yield for pharmaceutical raw materials. The main unit of measurement is the centner per hectare. Additionally, the yield of target components, such as oil, protein, or total alkaloids, is calculated.
Productivity levels range from 5–8 c/ha under unfavorable conditions to 15.1 c/ha for modern breeding varieties. The optimal plant population density at the time of harvest is 250–300 plants per m², which ensures uniform ripening and quality development of the capsules.
