The aim of this study was to gain experience in the organic cultivation of artichokes (Cynara scolymus L.) under the condition of the temperate climate of the Lower Rhine Bay. The effects of reducing the number of buds by removing bastard branches on the yield of two cultivars were tested in a field experiment. Cultivar ‘Imperial Star’ yielded up to 10.31 t FM / ha, for cultivar ‘JW 109’ the yield was up to 7.63 t FM / ha. In both cultivars, removing bastard branches resulted in higher bud weight, whereas total yield per ha was reduced. |
