Porbella

Porbella leek variety is a mid-season, high-yielding variety developed by the Dutch breeding company Hazera. The vegetation period is approximately 90-100 days from germination or transplanting seedlings. This variety is intended for cultivation in open and protected soil to obtain a harvest during the late summer to autumn period. Porbella is characterized by high stress resistance and tolerance to major onion diseases, which simplifies care and increases yield reliability.

Plants have upright, dark green leaves with a distinct waxy coating, and the white stem part reaches a length of 22-25 cm. The leek does not form bulbs, which is typical for leek, and has a cylindrical fruit shape. The average weight of one plant varies from 100 to 150 grams. Porbella is easy to clean and has high marketability, making it popular for both fresh consumption and processing.

The variety retains its flavor and market appearance well in the field, allowing for fresh sales throughout the winter until January-February. The recommended seedling planting scheme involves row spacing of 30-50 cm and plant spacing of 10-15 cm, ensuring optimal planting density of 250,000-350,000 plants per hectare. Due to its characteristics, Porbella leek is an excellent choice for farmers and gardeners seeking a stable and high-quality harvest.
