The 'Dedula' onion is an early-maturing variety with a growing period of 66 to 75 days, allowing for a harvest within a single season. The bulbs are flat-round or elliptical, weighing between 60 and 100 grams, with golden-brown dry skins and white, juicy inner layers. The onion has a semi-sharp taste, making it versatile for various culinary purposes. Its high dry matter content ensures good shelf life and long-term storage without quality loss.
The 'Dedula' variety is characterized by high yield and versatile use. It is suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for canning, freezing, drying, and other types of processing. A distinguishing feature of this variety is that it does not bolt or flower, which simplifies the growing process and avoids complex stages of plant development. The onion adapts well to open-ground conditions and can produce bulbs of varying sizes.
Growing 'Dedula' onions requires regular watering, soil loosening, and fertilization, which contributes to the formation of a high-quality harvest. Harvesting is usually done in August, after which the onions are dried and trimmed for further storage or use as food. Due to its characteristics and ease of cultivation, the 'Dedula' variety is a profitable choice for gardeners who want a stable and high-quality harvest of onions.
