Onion DENSITY

Reliable Yield for Processing: Working with Density

When selecting onion hybrids for industrial cultivation, finding a balance between agronomic performance and storage longevity is critical. The Italian selection from Isi Sementi S.P.A, known as "Density," is a prime example of a hybrid where results are consistent from sowing to storage. For producers focused on processing, this hybrid provides the necessary reliability.

Field Performance and Harvesting

With a maturity period of 120–130 days, Density fits perfectly into a structured harvest schedule. The bulbs are consistently round with a dense, deep bronze-yellow skin. From a logistics standpoint, the tough exterior "takes the hit" well, ensuring that mechanical damage during harvesting is minimized. For an operator, this means less downtime at the sorting line and a cleaner final product.

Economic Storage Potential

The standout feature of Density is its storage capability. 6–7 months in professional cold storage is standard for this hybrid.

• Tech-forward: perfectly suited for intensive cultivation schemes.
• Consistency: uniform bulb size simplifies the sorting process.
• Protection: dense skin significantly lowers post-harvest wastage during transportation.

Working with Density is straightforward: the crop does not require complex interventions, and its predictable shelf life allows farmers to wait for better market prices during the winter-spring season.
