Early growth and development of Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler) 'Green Road' plants sown at different times of the year [Japanese]

摘要

The early growth and development of Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler) 'Green Road', were studied by sowing seeds every other month. The seedlings were grown for 40 days, and then transplanted to the sand-bed in a plastic house and cultivated with sufficient fertigation for 150 days until first cutting. Plant fresh weight at transplanting was significantly different depending on the month of sowing. The heaviest seedlings at transplanting time were those sown in April and June; the lightest ones were those sown in December and February.
