Golden onion is a mid-early to early maturing, high-yielding variety that forms bulbs in 90-110 days after sowing. The plant exhibits moderate growth intensity and produces large, round or flat-round bulbs weighing from 70 to 140 grams. The bulbs have a golden-yellow coloration of dry scales, while the juicy scales are white. The onion has a semi-pungent flavor, making it versatile for fresh consumption, salads, and culinary processing, as well as facilitating cleaning and preparation, causing fewer tears.
The Golden variety is highly resistant to major diseases and pests, including downy mildew, fusarium, rust, and onion fly. This makes it suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under winter cover. The onion has excellent storage qualities: during storage for 5-7 months, it retains 85-95% of its yield, and after 7 months of storage, it retains up to 90% of its quality. This makes the variety ideal for long-term storage and year-round use.
The Golden variety can be grown from seeds sown in April or under winter cover. The onion forms small-clump bulbs, which simplifies harvesting and storage. Its high productivity and disease resistance make it a profitable choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain a high-quality, consistent onion harvest with good flavor and long storage life.
