Diplotaxis tenuifolia in protected cultivation

Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC.

Growing Diplotaxis tenuifolia in protected conditions allows for the realization of the perennial plant's potential, providing an extended harvesting period through the use of low-volume technologies and photoselective covers.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Perennial wall-rocket, where this is mentioned in the description.

The use of protected cultivation for Diplotaxis tenuifolia is aimed at intensifying production and obtaining high-quality produce. Unlike the annual Eruca sativa, Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a perennial crop, which allows for a multiple-cut harvesting technology where leaves regrow, provided the plant's heart remains intact.

The technological process involves the use of modern substrates, such as coconut coir, which ensures nutrient control and high planting density. The optimal soil temperature is approximately 20 °C. To increase productivity and control nitrate accumulation, photoselective film covers and white film mulching are used, which promote leaf area development.
