Victor

Victor is an early-maturing and very high-yielding leek variety developed by specialists of LLC "Agrofirma Poisk". The plant is of medium height with a medium-sized rosette and moderately dense arrangement of raised grey-green leaves covered with a light waxy coating. The bulb is weakly expressed, but there is a slight thickening of leaf sheaths at the base of the shoot. The blanched part of the stem reaches a length of up to 20 cm and a mass of up to 200 g. The flavor of the leek is pleasant, tender, and semi-sharp, making it versatile for various culinary purposes.

This variety is characterized by high yield — up to 3.4 kg per square meter. Leek Victor is recommended for use fresh, as well as for home cooking and canning. A feature of the variety is the increase in vitamin C content during storage, which enhances its nutritional value and useful properties. The culture is cold-hardy, which allows leaving the plants in the ground until spring if covered from frost.

Growing leek Victor in a temperate climate is done using the seedling method. Seeds are sown in individual pots in March, 65-75 days before transplanting into open ground. Before planting, the seedlings are hardened, and roots and leaves are shortened by a third for better establishment. During growth, plants are hilled up to form a powerful blanched false stem. The recommended planting scheme is 10x50 cm. Simple agrotechnical measures ensure high quality and market characteristics of the harvest.
