Abstract

Abstract Hand pinching of newly initiated central heads of two cultivars of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. Italica group) resulted in uniform development of several side shoots, enabling a single harvest of high-quality side shoots. The yield of side shoots of ‘Waltham 29’ was higher than the yield of central heads of nonpinched plants. For ‘Green Duke’, no difference in yield was found due to treatment. The time of pinching was crucial with ‘Waltham 29’ but not with ‘Green Duke’.
