Rather than forming a bulb like onion, leek (Allium porrum, Liliaceae) produces long, bundled leaf sheaths which are blanched by hilling or covering. Leek seedlings are often raised under protected cultivation to be transplanted in the open field. We provide information about the numerous aspects of production of leek including cultivation, pests and diseases, harvest, postharvest and storage.
