Matejko F1 leek is a medium-maturing hybrid developed by the seed company Rijk Zwaan from the Netherlands, intended for cultivation during the summer-autumn period. The vegetation period is approximately 110-120 days from emergence. Plants are characterized by high productivity and resistance to adverse conditions such as drought, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall, making this variety suitable for various climatic regions. The leek forms dark green, medium-width leaves with a strong waxy coating, and the whitened stem part reaches a length of 20-23 cm and a width of 5-8 cm, with individual plants weighing up to 250 grams.
The Matejko F1 hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases, particularly rust and thrips, which helps maintain the marketable appearance and quality of the product over an extended period. A strong root and leaf system ensures the formation of first-class bulbs suitable for both fresh market and processing. Due to its dense white stem structure and excellent flavor, this leek is popular among farmers and consumers.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to regularly provide plants with water and periodically fertilize with complex mineral fertilizers. The hybrid easily adapts to various conditions and requires less attention compared to similar varieties, making it an advantageous choice for vegetable growers. High yield potential — from 3.5 to 4.5 kg per square meter — enables stable and high-quality harvests in open ground.
