Terek (F1) Kohlrabi Seed

Item #HSC-KOH-008-250S

An early, sweet kohlrabi that holds well.

Terek is uniform, sweet and mild, with good texture even above usual market size, up to about 6". It stays in the field a long time without turning woody.

The small leaf attachments make stripping and peeling easier, and the compact plants can be spaced closer for more bulbs per bed.

About 40 days from sowing. F1 hybrid.

Growing Information

Scientific name

Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes

Growing conditions

Kohlrabi likes mild, cool weather: all season in the North, and fall through winter in the South. Fertile soil at pH 6.0–7.5 and regular watering keep it growing fast, and fast growth gives the sweetest, most tender bulbs.

Days to maturity

Counted from direct sowing; transplants are ready about two weeks sooner.

Transplanting

For the earliest crop, start seed 4–6 weeks ahead, 3–4 seeds per inch in open flats or 2 per cell (thinned to one). Set plants 4–5" apart; give large storage types such as Kossak about 10".

Direct sowing

Sow about 15 seeds per foot, 1/4–1/2" deep, with 12–18" between rows. Thin market types to 4" and storage types to 10".

Seeding rate

At 15 seeds per foot in rows 18" apart: about 250 seeds per 16 ft., 1,000 per 66 ft. and 436,000 per acre.

Disease prevention

Prevention is the main tool: rotate away from cabbage-family crops for several years, start seedlings in clean mix and clean beds, and keep tools and fields sanitary.

Harvest

Pull market types at about 2–3" across and storage types at about 8".

Transplants

About 4,500 plants per oz., or 800 per 1,000 seeds.

Packet

100 seeds.

Seeds per lb.

About 100,000 on average.
