Chives Production Practices in Guyana.pdf

Taken from Introduction: Chive is a member of the Allium family (Alliaceae) which includes other crops such as eschallot, onion, garlic, leek and bunching onion. The chive is the most widely distributed of the Allium species. The crop is a perennial, but in Guyana it is cultivated as an annual where the entire plant is harvested after an eight week growing cycle. Compared to onions and other alliums, chives have a strong tillering habit, forming dense clumps without well-formed bulbs.

Chives are grown mainly to satisfy the domestic market in Guyana. The herb has culinary and medicinal properties. The fresh leaves are used for making herbal butters and vinegar as well as a flavouring in salads, soups and soft cheeses. The oils (leaf extract) of the plant are known to lower blood levels of low-density lipoproteins. Chives contain some iron and vitamins and can be used as mild antibiotics and laxative. The plants can also be grown for their attractive pinkish to mauve fragrant flowers.
