Emir onion is a medium-late variety with a vegetation period of 110 to 120 days, allowing harvest and drying before the onset of rains. This variety is characterized by vigorous growth and strong, robust plants. The bulbs are egg-shaped or spherical, with a slender neck and small basal plate, weighing from 120 to 300 grams depending on planting density. The outer scales have a beautiful silver-white hue, while the inner flesh is white, dense, juicy, and crisp. Thanks to these qualities, Emir onion is popular among gardeners and farmers, ensuring high marketability of the product.
The variety is well-adapted to various growing conditions, preferring soils with a pH level of 7 to 8 and requiring open, non-shaded areas. Emir onion is moisture-loving and particularly thrives under drip irrigation, which allows precise control of soil moisture at 70-80% until the plant's foliage wilts. The plant is resistant to diseases and stress factors, does not form flower stalks, and tolerates mechanized care, simplifying cultivation and harvest.
Yield of the variety ranges from 50 to 70 tons of fresh product per hectare. Emir onion is suitable for long-term storage, maintaining its consumer qualities for 4-6 months after harvest. This makes it a profitable choice for cultivation in various regions, providing a stable and high-quality yield suitable for both fresh consumption and further processing.
