Abstract:
Objective In order to screen out the new varieties of broccolini suitable for production in Fujian Province.
Method Twelve cultivars of broccolini were introduced from domestic and overseas for comparative test.
Result Among the early-maturing varieties, 'kelima' from Xiamen, 'Q24-9' from Australia and 'No.1 xilantai' from Wuhan had higher yield, good quality and medium resistance to black rot and soft rot; The medium-maturing variety 'Q24-10' introduced from Norway has high yield, high grade 1 flowering stalk rate, better resistance and excellent comprehensive traits.
Conclusion Broccoli cultivars such as 'kelima', 'Q24-9', 'No.1 xilantai' and 'Q24-10' were suitable for planting in Fujian. The results showed that the suitable sowing time of broccolini in Fujian Province was from August to November, the optimal planting density was 45 000 - 48 000 plants per hm2, and topping and pinching when the diameter of the main branch flower ball was about 5 cm, which was an effective measure to improve the yield of broccolini.
