Variety characteristic
Early stick garlic, ideal for fresh garlic.
Précosem, a variety close to Primor, is distinguished by its white color. With its good yield potential, Précosem is ideal for planting between September and October, in regions with a low risk of frost. An autumn planting allows you to gain in earliness and benefit from all the advantages of fresh garlic and the potential of Précosem certified seeds.
It's even possible to use Précosem as a dry crop, so as to offer white garlic on the market a few weeks before the arrival of the new crop of dry white garlic.
FAQ Discover the frequently asked question
Is it necessary to cut the flowering stem of the Précosem variety?
It is advisable to castrate the flowering stem of the Précosem variety in order to obtain higher yields from larger bulbs. Garlic puts part of its energy into the flowering stem, rather than the bulb. By cutting the flowering stem, the energy concentrated in the flowering stem is redirected towards the bulb.
This also facilitates harvesting in the case of mechanical harvesting.
