EVALUATION OF YIELDING OF SEVERAL RHUBARB CULTIVARS IN YEARS 1996–2001
Andrzejjj Sałata
ABSTRACT
Several rhubarb cultivars were investigated: ‘Koral’, ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, ‘Wczesny Hosera’, ‘Wiśniowy’ and ‘Purpurat’ of the cultivation of years 1996-2001. Essential differences in yielding of the investigated cultivars and between the years of cultivation were proved. The highest average petioles yield was obtained from the cultivation of ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, whereas the lowest from the cultivation of ‘Purpurat’. On average, the highest number of petioles was gathered from the plants of cultivars ‘Wiśniowy’, ‘Koral’ and ‘Karpow Lipskiego’, while the lowest from cultivar ‘Purpurat’. Cultivar ‘Karpow Lipskiego’ was distinguishable by petioles of decidedly greater average mass in comparison to other cultivars.
Key words: rhubarb, cultivars, yielding of rhubarb.
