A new broccoli, independent of the seasonality and doubling the production

 

 

 

Scientists from the JIC (John Innes Center) with the support of BBSRC developed a fast-growing broccoli, around 8-10 weeks to grow it. The new vegetable has the potential to yield 2 crops per season if the crop is grown in the field, 4-5 crops per year if grown under protected conditions.

 

 

 

This experimental vegetable still has to pass various stages of homologations before being marketed. Its potential, more productivity and less vulnerability to climatic conditions, ensures a real success, in the United Kingdom as elsewhere.
