Screening of Chinese Chives Cultivars Suited for Nutrient Solution Cultivation

In order to screen Chinese chives cultivars(Allium tubersum Rottl.ex Spr.)suitable for nutrient solution cultivation,7 Chinese chives cultivars including'791 kuanyexuejiu','Pingjiu No.4'were studied by using a new type of hydroponic system developed by Vegetable Research Center of Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences.By analyzing their growth index,physiological characteristics,nutritional quality,individual dry and fresh weight and yields,we found that'791 kuanyexuejiu'and'Duokangfujiu 11'had the best growth and yield characters,and'791 kuanyexuejiu'nutritional quality had relatively better data.Comprehensive analysis deems that'791 kuanyexuejiu'is more suitable for nutrient solution cultivation.
