Stable harvest of fresh greens: Chives «Retro»

For farms specializing in leafy greens, the «Retro» variety from Agrofirma Poisk is a proven tool for ensuring a continuous production conveyor. This perennial chive variety is valued by professionals for its predictability and high productivity.

Agrotechnics and Yield

The variety belongs to early-maturing salad crops with a full development cycle of up to 90 days. The key feature of «Retro» is its ability to regrow quickly after each harvest. This allows agronomists to plan an intensive harvest schedule throughout the entire growing season.

• Yield potential: When following standard agrotechnical practices, yields can exceed 100 tons per hectare, making it a highly profitable choice for commercial production.
• Harvesting method: The variety is perfectly adapted for manual harvesting, which is critical for maintaining the presentation of delicate leaves and preventing bruising or loss of juiciness.
• Usage: Its salad-grade quality means meeting high flavor standards — «Retro» possesses a mild, sharp taste and a thin leaf structure, which are highly sought after in the HoReCa segment and retail networks.

Practical Application

The main task that «Retro» solves for a farm is the creation of a stable income source from early spring to late autumn. As a perennial crop, it does not require annual reseeding, which significantly optimizes soil preparation and seed costs. When establishing a plantation, it is important to note that this chive variety demonstrates excellent winter hardiness, reliably preserving its root system through changing climate conditions.

To achieve maximum profitability, planting on fertile, well-drained plots with regular irrigation is recommended. High planting density allows for efficient use of every hectare, minimizing weed competition starting from the second year of vegetation.
