Bopak – Organic (F1) Green Seed

New! Organic white-stemmed pac choi.
Bopak produces tall, heavy, fancy, full-size heads. Flavor is mild, succulent, and very good. Heads are more uniform and attractive than those of Joi Choi. AAS winner. USDA Certified Organic. Avg. 122,900 seeds/lb. Packet: 250 seeds.
CULTURE:Sow from early spring through midsummer. In the South, pac choi is well adapted for fall plantings. Suitable for fall sowing in mild climates or in a high tunnel or other protected structure in colder climates. Premature bolting of seedlings may occur if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), especially over multiple nights. Cold temperatures generally do not cause bolting of plants past the seedling stage.
DAYS TO MATURITY:From emergence after direct seeding.
DIRECT SEEDING:Sow 15 seeds/ft., 1/4" deep in rows 12-18" apart. Thin plants as recommended in our Pac Choi Comparison Chart. For baby-leaf production of ‘Rosie’, the only pac choi we recommend for baby leaf, see the Baby-Leaf Brassica Greens culture.
TRANSPLANTING: Start seeds in 128 or 72-cell trays, 2–4 weeks before transplanting. Plant out before plants become rootbound or stressed to prevent premature bolting.
INSECT PESTS:Flea beetles can be controlled by covering with floating row covers from day of sowing.
HARVEST:Harvest before flowering.
