Variety traits

Endive plant height

Cichorium endivia L.

A biometric indicator defined as the distance from the soil level to the leaf tips at the rosette stage. It serves as a criterion for assessing marketability and detecting premature bolting.

In the reference 45 varieties crop Endive, where this is mentioned in the description.

For endive, plant height is measured in centimeters and is determined at the rosette stage as the distance from the soil surface to the tips of the longest leaves. During the market maturity period, plants typically reach 20–40 cm, whereas upon transition to the reproductive phase, the height of the flower stalk can reach 100–150 cm.

Rosette height is an important agronomic indicator that influences planting density and the feasibility of mechanical harvesting. An increase in this indicator above the norm during the growing season often indicates premature bolting, which leads to reduced product quality, increased leaf toughness, and bitterness due to the translocation of nutrients to reproductive organs.
