Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate effects of removal levels of leaves of rootstocks on growth and quality of chicon in blanching culture of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.). Most qualities of chicon producted by different length levels of left leaves were not significant difference among treatments in the other's excepted length of chicon was longer in 1cm and 2cm lengths than in 4cm length. Moisture in 4cm length and vitamin C contents of chicon in 1cm length were higher than in the other's. In qualities of chicon producted by different removal levels of outer leaves, flesh and dry weight were heavier in full removal. However length, diameter, hardness of chichon were not appeared significant difference. Vitamin C content was appeared effects of removal of the outer leaves. Accordingly, there was considered additional treatments such as length control and removal of outer leaves with conventional treatment in pre-treatments of rootstocks are not appeared a great effects.
