SUMMARY
Aiming to introduce a less known vegetable sort pakchoy (Brassica rapa
L. subsp. chinensis Rupr.), a two factors experiment through the two cultivation
methods (direct sowing and the seedlings), and through cultivars (cv.)
Japro, Hypro F1 and Bejo F1 was investigated within a three year period.
It was found out that at the identical vegetation length and with the
approximate plant density, the direct sowing growth, brings forth the
plants of a greater average plant mass, and subsequently higher yields
in comparison with the results obtained from seedlings method.
The cv. Hypro F1 produces rightly a higher yields, greater average plant
mass and plant circumference, than the cv. Bejo F1, and approximately
same as cv. Japro.
This investigation established that the growth of pakchoy in later summer
term is practicable under the weather conditions prevailing in northwest
Croatia, and the cultivation of cv. Hypro F1 through direct sowing can
be recommended.
