Chicory
Chicories (Cichorium intybus) are leafy vegetables cultivated for both fresh consumption and processing. They include several types such as radicchio, puntarelle and cutting chicories, and generally prefer temperate climates and fertile, well-drained soils.
The crop requires regular irrigation and careful pest and disease management to prevent rots and infestations. Yields vary depending on type and harvest period. Leaf quality, color and crispness are key commercial value traits.
Germination
Starter fertilization at sowing is essential to ensure rapid and uniform crop establishment, promoting seed germination and early development of roots and leaves.
PHOSTART® Zn provides phosphorus, essential for root development; nitrogen to support early growth; and zinc, crucial for enzymatic activation and protein synthesis. This combined contribution improves early vigor, strengthens stress tolerance and promotes balanced plant development, supporting high-quality production.

Herbicide Stress for Chicory
Herbicide application during early development can slow growth and reduce photosynthetic efficiency. It is therefore essential to limit negative effects of chemical treatments and promote rapid reactivation of plant metabolism.
SHIFT® stimulates plant metabolism, promoting quick recovery of vigor and essential physiological processes. Applied alone or in combination with herbicides or fungicides, it helps maintain crop balance, supporting regular development of both foliage and roots.

Environmental Stress for Chicory
Chicories are sensitive to environmental stress, which may slow vegetative growth and leaf quality formation. Thermal fluctuations, moisture variations, wind or excessive light can compromise uniformity, vigor and leaf size.
FYLLOTON®, rich in amino acids and plant extracts, supports vegetative development, enhances plant ability to face adverse conditions and promotes production of uniform, vigorous leaves of high commercial quality.

Yield and Quality for Chicory
Chicory productivity depends largely on balanced and high-quality leaf development, fundamental aspects for obtaining vigorous plants and uniform harvests.
Foliar application of RIZAMMINA® 42 during vegetative growth, thanks to amino acids and macro/microelements, stimulates cell multiplication and improves photosynthetic efficiency. This promotes uniform, healthy and vigorous leaf growth, contributing to higher yield and quality.
