Endive is a two-year crop although it is produced and consumed as a one-year vegetable. It is grown because of the leaves, which form a rosette. Endive leaves can be smooth, weak or very wrinkled, wavy, round, strongly serrated in different colors. Endive cultivation is most prevalent in southern Europe.
Temperature
A temperature higher than 25 ° C reduces germination, which may be the reason for the uneven and poor sprouting of well-germinated seeds. Endive is a mild climate plant. For vegetative growth, medium temperatures of 15 to 18 ° C are optimal, minimum growth temperature is 7 ° C, and maximum 24 ° C. As soon as the rosette is near technological maturity, ie harvesting, a minimum temperature of -3 ° C can cause more damage, and at - 6 to -7 ° C the plant freezes completely. Moderate soil humidity of 60 to 80% of field water capacity and relative air humidity of about 70% are most favorable for plant growth. If high temperatures and low humidity occurred in the period immediately before harvesting, the rosette leaves become hard and coarse, with the more bitter matter. The bitter substances in the endives make it more resistant to lower temperatures, unlike the lettuce and crystalline salad.
Water
It has high water requirements, so an irrigation system (usually drip) is recommended.
Land
The salinity of the soil is less sensitive than the salad. It generally thrives well on all soil types, but better on medium to heavy soils provided they are deeply cultivated and even better fertilized, with neutral pH reactions of 6.5 - 7.2. Well, permeable soils are neutral and humus enriched. It is less sensitive to soil salinity. It does not tolerate direct fertilization with manure, and it succeeds best after a culture that was already heavily fertilized, such as cabbage and paper.
