AMBRA F1

German Breeding Excellence for Professional Growers

The onion hybrid AMBRA F1 (CRX 2344) from Agri-Saaten represents a traditional German approach to plant breeding: a perfect blend of high-tech performance and reliable results. This hybrid is specifically engineered for farmers who prioritize consistent bulb quality during long-term storage and robust resistance to soil-borne pathogens.

Agronomic Features and Resistance

A primary challenge in onion production is root system decay. AMBRA F1 (CRX 2344) distinguishes itself through its genetic resistance to Pink Root Rot (Pyrenochaeta terrestris). This makes the hybrid an excellent choice for fields with intensive crop rotation, where the risk of soil-borne infection is higher than average.

• Maturity Period: Classified in the mid-late segment (110–120 days), allowing the crop to develop ideal tissue density.
• Morphology: A classic round bulb shape, optimized for both manual and mechanized harvesting.
• Color Profile: The outer scales display a distinctive bronze-yellow hue that protects the bulb from mechanical damage, while the inner flesh is crisp, bright white, and firm.

Market Positioning

Agri-Saaten products maintain a strong standing in the European agricultural sector due to their rigorous quality control of seed genetics. AMBRA F1 (CRX 2344) is designed for commercial farming operations aiming for premium-grade produce that maintains its marketability through retail supply chains. Its uniform development and excellent curing capabilities make it a vital tool for producers planning sales throughout the autumn and winter months.
