 Chinese Broccoli - Short Report No 117
Chinese broccoli,(commonly known as kailaan — Brassica oleracea var..alboglabra) is harvested for its flowering stems with compact florets.Harvest time and post- harvest conditions are critical in order that the flowering heads do not contain opened flower buds.
Commercial practice with Chinese broccoli is to harvest both the main shoot and the subsequent side shoots from plants.This required further evaluation of eight commercial cultivars — carried out in 1999/00 in Victoria.
Essentially,harvests of Chinese broccoli could be achieved throughout the year in Victoria by selec- tively choosing variety and location.Marketable yields as a percentage of total yield (based on numbers of marketable shoots per total number of shoots)were consistently low in a number of site-by-sowing-date combinations,and those combinations were not considered suitable for commercial production.
