BULB FENNEL: CHARACTERISTICS AND CULTIVATION
Bulb fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum) is a typically Mediterranean crop with autumn, winter and spring cycles. Variety choice according to growing window is key: summer varieties require high bolting tolerance, autumn and winter varieties must ensure uniform size and bulb whiteness.
GRADING AND PRECISION SOWING
Fennel is traditionally transplanted, but direct sowing with calibrated seeds is increasingly common to reduce production costs. Smarties.bio offers varieties in calibrated format for single-seed seeders.
ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL
Available in EU certified organic and conventional, with technical data sheet per batch.
