The Bandit variety of onion is a late-maturing type with a vegetation period of approximately 140-150 days, intended for autumn-winter cultivation. The plant features a low stature, white cylindrical stem, and rich dark blue-green leaves that retain freshness after harvest. Due to its frost resistance, this variety can successfully overwinter in regions with mild climates, expanding its cultivation potential.
Seed sowing is recommended at a depth of no more than 0.5 cm, preferably in fertile soils with good moisture. For optimal growth and development, timely hilling and feeding with complex mineral fertilizers are essential. Seed sowing is typically carried out in April, and transplanting seedlings occurs in May-June, allowing harvest from September to November.
The Bandit variety exhibits good storability and can be stored from December to April, making it convenient for extended use during winter. Its cold resistance and ability to retain leaf freshness after harvest make this onion an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and high-quality variety for winter cultivation and storage.
