Abstract
'Grasslands Puna' chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) has been harvested for seed in New Zealand since 1984. Seed yields have ranged from 0 to over 700 kg/ha with an average yield of around 200 kg/ha. Data from Manawatu and Canterbury trials were combined with information gained from monitoring 25 Puna seed crops in Canterbury. Results from work on establishment, time of closing, seed development, response to nitrogen, herbicide tolerance and methods of harvesting are reported, and differences between Manawatu and Canterbury in terms of management of Puna seed crops are highlighted. Keywords: chicory, seed production
