Chicory varieties for the mid season
Chicory Déesse
Chicory witloof Déesse (pronounced as DS) is a new variety for the mid season. Déesse (OK-8378) is a witloof chicory with a good shape of the heads and a short pith. The heads are shiny, solid and pointed. The leaves of the crop grow well to the point. We see a very nice product when it is harvested.
Very uniform and herbicide resistant
Déesse is a very uniform CMS hybrid. On the field, the insensitivity to sulfonylurea herbicides (e.g. Safari) is an additional benefit in cultivation of the roots. The sulfonylurea resistance makes the weed control more reliable because full dosage can be used in this variety even in the rise and germination stages. Safari has a good effect on problem weeds from the family of composites and on some other weeds.
