Parsley Stixia

Stable yields for professional greens production

The «Stykhia» parsley variety is a breeding achievement by the Mayak Research Station (Institute of Vegetables and Melons, NAAS), specifically tailored for professional greens production in Ukraine. It is a preferred choice for growers seeking a balance between vigorous leaf growth and excellent post-harvest shelf life.

Key Features

• Vegetation Period: The crop reaches technical maturity in 70–80 days, allowing for efficient batch production throughout the growing season.
• Plant Type: A leaf-type variety known for strong regrowth energy. It develops a raised leaf rosette, which simplifies harvesting and prevents soil contamination of the greens.
• Adaptability: Developed by domestic breeders, this variety is highly acclimated to the climatic zones of Ukraine and demonstrates stability against early-season temperature fluctuations.

Why choose this variety?

«Stykhia» is ideal for farms supplying fresh produce to retail chains. Its main advantage over many international hybrids is its low demand for intensive agricultural inputs while retaining a robust aroma and a deep, dark green leaf color that resists yellowing during transport. Growers should note that to achieve maximum rosette mass, consistent moisture levels are required; therefore, the variety performs best in fields with established irrigation systems.
