A study was carried out to
investigate the possibility of kohlrabi growing and to determine the
suitable cultivars under Trakya conditions during the spring and autumn
growing periods between 2000 and 2002. In each period, nine kohlrabi
cultivars were evaluated with respect to yield and some tuber and leaf
characteristics. It was observed that kohlrabi can be successfully grown
under Trakya conditions. While the highest leaf weight was obtained from
Erko, the variety Rapidstar which had plant weight between 471.4 and 986.0
g, tuber weight between 340.2 and 899.9 g, tuber diameter between 87.3 and
125.2 mm and yield between 7.72 and 20.07 kg/plot, as depending on
different year and season was the best suitable cultivar for the Region. |
