The Diamanti Bruno onion is a late-maturing hybrid of bulb onion, intended for both fresh market and processing. The vegetative period is approximately 120-130 days, allowing for the formation of a full-sized bulb within a single season. Bulbs are large, round in shape, with dry brown or bronze scales and juicy white flesh. The flavor is medium-sharp, without bitterness, making it versatile for culinary use. Leaves are dark green with a waxy coating, and bulb mass ranges from 150 to 300 grams, ensuring high yield uniformity.
The hybrid is distinguished by high resistance to a range of diseases, including powdery mildew, fusarium, root rot, and downy mildew, and it is not prone to bolting even under unfavorable climatic conditions. This significantly reduces the risk of crop loss and enhances product quality. Diamanti Bruno onion adapts well to various soil types and is suitable for mechanized harvesting, making it convenient for cultivation both on a commercial scale and in private gardens.
It is recommended to grow the onion from seeds in a single-crop culture with a sowing rate of 0.8-1.1 million per hectare. Sparse sowings result in an increase in the number of large bulbs, which may be advantageous for producing high-quality products. The hybrid's yield reaches approximately 689.5 centners per hectare, confirming its high productivity and economic attractiveness for farmers.
