Bulat variety onion is a high-yielding winter variety with a semi-sharp taste, intended for fresh consumption and short-term storage up to 4 months. The bulbs are round in shape, with an average weight of 80 to 100 grams. The inner scales are snowy white, juicy, and firm, while the outer scales are dry and golden, giving the onion an attractive appearance. The variety is characterized by high yield — from 50 to 70 tons per hectare, with a maturation period of about 260-280 days. Bulat onion cultivation is recommended on light loams and sandy loams with neutral or slightly alkaline soil reaction. Seeds are sown in late summer (August) to allow plants to form small clumps before winter, and in spring they continue to grow and form large bulbs. The recommended sowing density is 1.2 million seeds per hectare. The onion is sensitive to weed infestation, so it is important to maintain clean seedbeds for high yields. The variety has genetic resistance to diseases, but is susceptible to pests such as onion fly and thrips. The main disease that may appear under wet weather conditions is powdery mildew (false powdery mildew). Bulat onion is suitable for fresh consumption at various growth stages — from green shoots to fully mature bulbs. Due to its taste qualities and attractive shape, this variety is popular among gardeners and farmers.
