ABSTRACT

Several rhubarb cultivars were investigated: ‘Koral’, ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, ‘Wczesny Hosera’, ‘Wiœniowy’, ‘Purpurat’ – in the third, fourth and fifth years of the utilization of a plantation. Essential differences in yielding of the investigated cultivars were shown. The largest average marketable yield was obtained from the cultivation of ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, whereas the smallest from the cultivation of ‘Purpurat’. On average, the most petioles were gathered from the plants of cultivars ‘Wiœniowy’ and ‘Wczesny Hosera’, while the fewest from cultivar ‘Purpurat’. ‘Karpow Lipskiego’ was distinguishable by a decidedly greater average mass of petioles in comparison to other cultivars. In consideration of marketable yields, cultivars ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, ‘Wczesny Hosera’ and ‘Koral’ proved to be the most useful for the cultivation with petioles being intended for direct consumption.

Key words: rhubarb, cultivars, yielding of rhubarb.
