Piquante

Reliable Chive Harvest with Resistance to Downy Mildew

The 'Picante' chives from PP 'Agrosvit' are the professional grower’s choice for the fresh produce market. Unlike most varieties prone to humidity-related issues, this hybrid demonstrates exceptional resistance to downy mildew, which is critical for cultivation in the variable climate of Ukraine.

Economic Efficiency and Agronomics

• Yield: A yield potential exceeding 100 tons per hectare makes this one of the most profitable varieties in the salad onion segment.
• Maturation: With a growth cycle of up to 90 days, it allows for multiple production cycles per season.
• Storage: The ability to store the crop for 9-10 months sets this variety apart from alternatives that require immediate processing.

'Picante' is optimized for manual harvesting, ensuring the integrity and marketability of the leaves. Its high leaf density and rich, sharp flavor profile make it an ideal ingredient for salad mixes and culinary applications. By minimizing susceptibility to leaf diseases, the variety significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, directly lowering production costs. This variety is a strategic asset for farms supplying both retail chains and processing facilities.
