Yellow Onion for Long-Term Storage

ISPANOL

Mid-season onion variety, medium maturity, vegetation period 110-115 days. Bulbs are round, slightly tear-shaped, dense, uniform in size, with intense golden-brown color, medium weight 140-160 g. Forms strong outer scales, well protecting bulbs during storage. With regular watering, practically no "naked" bulbs occur. Grows well on all soil types. Stored onion lasts 5-6 months, practically until May, and is ideal for direct fresh sales, processing, or sales after storage. Tolerant to downy mildew and fusarium. Leaves remain green longer than competitors. Tolerates short-term soil and air drought. Another feature — pleasant sweet taste and delicate aroma. Therefore, it is grown in Central Ukraine without irrigation and yields up to 40 tons per hectare. In Nikolaev, Kherson regions and Crimea, it yields 70-75 tons per hectare on "drip" irrigation.
