Agronomic Tips
- Environment: Heated glasshouses Season: Suitable for year-round and winter crops with artificial light. Starting a crop in summer with this material can be challenging due to its improved vigor and vegetative aspect. Nutrition, climate control and labor must be planned to keep plant balance. Presence of boats can be a concern – it needs generative actions and promote unloading in spring. This material shows more blotchy fruits than check varieties, increased potassium and improving root systems can help alleviate the incidence. Head density: it varies according to latitude, greenhouse type and crop cycle. Maximum head density seen in commercial crops in summer: to 3.6 heads/m2. No blind heads observed in 2 crop cycles of development Grafting on a generative rootstock such as DR0138TX is suitable for short crop cycles. Grafting on a more vigorous rootstock is recommended for long crop cycles. Marinice needs generative steer for its vegetative behavior, especially when starting a crop cycle under high light levels. It tends to hold one extra truss vs Merlice. Truss support is a must for its large fruit size, applying truss support can be a generative impulse. Non-grafting is an option however crop cycle and growing conditions must be considered. If you choose to graft, we advise to pinch above the 2nd true leaf to obtain two heads per plant. In general pinching is the choice of growers. When growing Marinice for long crop cycles, it is advisable to use strong rootstocks such as Maxifort or DR0141TX. Equifort and DR0138TX can be used too. In this case, these materials will confer a more limited vigor and it is expected to obtain a more generative response from the crop itself. In order to obtain better results, it is paramount that the plant raiser delivers generative/balanced plants as the variety can have some boat fruit when to vegetative.
