Variety traits
Cichorium endivia L.
A morphological trait of endive characterizing the size of the leaf rosette during commercial maturity and the height of the flowering stem during bolting.
In the reference 26 varieties crop Endive, where this is mentioned in the description.
During commercial maturity, the height of the endive leaf rosette ranges from 10 to 40 cm. Upon transition to the generative phase, the plant forms a flowering stem reaching a height of 50–150 cm. Measurements are taken from the soil level to the tips of the leaves or the top of the flowering stem using a representative sample.
The plant height trait influences cultivation technology: compact forms allow for increased planting density, while the shape and height of the rosette determine blanching methods. A premature increase in plant height indicates bolting, which reduces product quality by causing leaf coarsening and the accumulation of bitterness.
