Abstract
In North Macedonia, there is a long tradition of growing leek. The most grown are those
with long shaft (pseudostem) or kamus type of leeks. The study aimed to evaluate three local
landraces of leek with long shafts (pseudostem): Kumanovski, Veleski, and Strumicki. The
experiment was set up in the village of Dobrejci near Strumica, during the season of 2019. A single
experimental plot was 12 m2 with a density of 400 plants per plot organized in a complete
randomized block design in four replications. During the vegetation period the plant height (cm),
the shaft thickness (pseudostem) (mm), leaves number in the shaft (pseudostem), the plant mass
(g), length of the shaft (pseudostem) (cm), the shaft mass (pseudostem) (g) and total yield (t ha-1)
were measured. According to the results, the thickest shaft (pseudostem) (32.38 mm), the highest
number of leaves in the shaft (pseudostem) (11.78), the highest plant mass (460.26g), the highest
shaft mass (pseudostem) (285.53 g) and total yield (95.18 t ha-1) were obtained from Kumanovski
leek landrace. The highest plants (87.74 cm) had Veleski leek landrace while the longest shaft
(pseudostem) (36.35 cm) was observed in the Strumicki leek landrace. It can be concluded that
even grown in different climate conditions from its origin, the Kumanovski leek landrace obtained
the best results. Further research on these landraces should be taken into consideration.
