Onion CHELYABINSK

Efficiency and Yield: Farming the "Chelyabinsky" Onion

When working with the "Chelyabinsky" onion variety from NPO "Sad i Ogorod", you quickly realize it is designed for those who value consistency over risky experiments. With a maturation period of 100–110 days, it reliably develops dense, elliptical bulbs weighing between 80 and 90 grams. It is the perfect commercial size—not too large, but heavy enough to satisfy market demands.

Performance in the Field

One of the key strengths of this variety is its versatility. Drawing on the genetics of chives and bunching onions, it produces tender, salad-grade greens in addition to the bulb itself. The yield potential of 70–90 tons per hectare is an impressive figure that makes "Chelyabinsky" a high-margin asset in the NPO "Sad i Ogorod" catalog.

• Market Appeal: The distinct dark bronze and purple skin color makes the bulbs stand out on store shelves, while the crisp white flesh is highly sought after by consumers.
• Storage: Capable of storing for 6–7 months without significant quality loss when kept in proper conditions. This is vital for farmers looking to avoid dumping product during peak harvest times.
• Harvesting: Perfectly suited for manual harvesting. The bulb structure is resilient, minimizing damage during collection and extending its shelf life significantly.

Managing the "Chelyabinsky" crop is straightforward. It does not require intensive, high-maintenance farming techniques. Its ability to recover from minor weather stress makes it a reliable performer throughout the season. If you are looking for a variety that maintains steady growth, is easy to manage during the harvest, and commands a good price at market, this onion is a solid investment.
