Growing Experience: Zvezdochot Plus Chives

When you start a plantation for green onions, it is important to understand that this is not a "plant and forget" crop. The "Zvezdochot Plus" variety from Gavrish is a professional tool for those planning to operate at scale. Its main advantage is stability. If you follow irrigation protocols and harvest on time, it delivers phenomenal yields reaching over 100 tons per hectare. In practice, this means that with proper maintenance, the field becomes an almost endless conveyor belt of high-quality greens.

Operational Specifics

Unlike bulb onions, the work here is entirely tied to the regrowth dynamics. Zvezdochot Plus impresses because the leaves do not turn coarse as quickly as in wild varieties. It produces delicate yet firm stems that maintain excellent marketability during transport. It is crucial for plantation operators that this variety is well-adapted to climatic fluctuations, resisting temperature changes and showing vigorous growth immediately after the winter dormancy.

Agronomic Recommendations

• Hardiness and Wintering: Being a perennial crop with a robust root system, the key is moisture management. Do not let the soil dry out during the active growth phase, otherwise, the stems will lose their crispness.
• Harvesting Technology: The variety responds well to intensive mineral nutrition. For large-scale production, it is essential to account for nutrient depletion after every cutting cycle.
• Crop Protection: High natural resistance allows for a reduction in fungicide applications, which significantly lowers production costs.

For the farmer, Zvezdochot Plus offers predictable results. While it is forgiving of minor management mistakes, it demands strict adherence to the harvesting schedule. If you are looking for planting material capable of producing stable yields for several years in the same plot, this option from Gavrish pays for itself by the second season of operation.
