Agronomic Tips
- Environment: Heated glasshouses Season: suitable to the same crop cycles where Merlice is well adapted. Can be grown year-round where summer conditions are not extreme (i.e. BC, Quebec). Suitable for Artificial light crops. Head density: it varies according to latitude, greenhouse type and crop cycle. Commonly head density seen in commercial crops varies from 2.5 to 3.6 heads/m2. No blind heads present 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. It 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.
