Abstract
Abstract The terminal bud was removed from ‘Jade Cross’ Brussels sprout plants when sprouts began to develop and at various later stages of sprout development. Total marketable single-harvest yields increased as time of disbudding was delayed and equalled those of normal plants when disbudding was delayed to the 9- whorl stage or later. Thus, terminal bud removal on ‘Jade Cross’ cannot be justified on the basis of increased single-harvest marketable yields. However, time of removal of the terminal bud affected maturity and the optimum harvest period of disbudded plants was advanced as much as 12 to 14 days. This effect of disbudding can be of assistance to a grower or processor in obtaining earlier production or in scheduling an extended harvesting period.
