Chicory Keilure

Dutch breeding for the professional market

The chicory variety Keilur is the result of Enza Zaden Beheer B.V. breeding, focused on creating a crop with predictable characteristics and high marketability. Unlike many open-pollinated varieties, Keilur demonstrates uniformity in root size, which is critical for mechanized harvesting and subsequent processing.

Technological advantages

• Population stability: As an open-pollinated variety, Keilur maintains genetic plasticity, allowing the plant to adapt to variable weather conditions during the growing season.
• Raw material quality: The roots have a dense structure and optimal inulin content, making them highly sought after in the food industry for the production of dietary products and coffee substitutes.
• Registration status: Official inclusion in the Ukrainian registry in 2026 confirms the completion of variety trials and compliance with quality standards adopted in the European agricultural sector.

This variety is aimed at agricultural enterprises specializing in growing chicory as an industrial crop. Keilur requires adherence to standard agronomic practices, but with proper care, it provides a high yield per hectare, minimizing storage losses due to the excellent shelf life of the roots.
