dc.description.abstractIn order to establish the effect of gravity on chicon quality and yield, witloof chicory roots were forced at three angles. It was shown that roots forced in a horizontal position produced a significantly lower marketable chicon yield than roots forced in a vertical position or at an angle of 45°. This reduced yield was brought about by an increased fall-out percentage where chicons were grown from roots placed at an angle.
