The crop requires well-drained fertile soil and average sunlight to flourish. Its edible stem attains maturity and ready for harvest in 55-60 days after sowing. The approximate weight is 150 g. Unlike turnip, which is a root vegetable, kohlrabi, being a stem vegetable, is less prone to cracking and has a good standing ability for up to 30 days even after maturity.
