Onion Bereket F1

Efficiency for Large-Scale Onion Production

The «Bereket F1» hybrid from Me-Tan Seed is engineered for professional growers prioritizing high-volume output and automated handling. Developed in Turkey, this long-day hybrid stands out for its resilience against root rots and fusarium, which are significant risks in intensive cultivation. Its ability to withstand soil-borne pathogens makes it a reliable performer even in challenging field conditions.

Key Agronomic Performance

For operations aiming at industrial efficiency, Bereket F1 offers a predictable 110–120 day maturity window. When sown at a density of 1000–1100 thousand seeds per hectare, the crop delivers consistent yields between 70 and 90 tons per hectare. Its rounded shape and uniform 160–170 gram size satisfy the standard market demand for both fresh market retail and industrial processing.

• Harvesting: Optimized for mechanical harvesting, significantly reducing labor costs on large fields.
• Storage: Robust dark bronze outer scales provide excellent protection, ensuring high quality after 6–7 months of storage.
• Processing: The firm, white flesh is ideal for peeling lines, minimizing waste and maintaining high pack-out rates.

Operational Advantages

Choosing Bereket F1 is a strategic decision for farms focused on the late-winter and early-spring market windows. By minimizing field losses to fungal diseases, growers can reduce the frequency of spray applications, optimizing input costs. The combination of its mechanical harvesting compatibility and long storage life makes it a powerhouse for commercial agricultural enterprises looking to stabilize their market supply throughout the year.
