How long is the growth cycle of chives?

Introduction to Chive Growth

Chives are suitable for growing under forests. They are native to western Asia and were domesticated very early in North America, Northern Europe and Asia. They are widely planted throughout my country.

Chive Growth Cycle

Chives are planted in the open field in spring and autumn, and can be planted in protected areas all year round except in summer. In the northern mountainous areas, they can be planted under shade nets in summer. Generally, they are harvested 60-80 days after sowing, and can be harvested 30 days after transplanting.

Chive growth rate

Chives prefer a cool climate, have strong cold and heat resistance, a short growing period, a fast growth rate, a high multiple cropping index, strong adaptability, and can be planted all year round.

Chive Growth Cycle Management

The yield of chives per mu is about 4,000 kilograms. The light intensity requirement is medium. They usually grow well when planted in loose, fertile, and well-drained loam.

Temperature management: Chives grow best in an environment of 13-20 degrees, and the stem and leaf growth temperature is 18-23 degrees. If the temperature is above 28 degrees, the growth rate will slow down.

Fertilization management : Chives are not suitable for planting in sandy soil. The fertilizer demand requires a balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. Do not apply only one type of fertilizer.
