Katana

Katana is a universal hybrid of spring onion developed by Sakata, suitable for cultivation in both open and closed ground. This early-ripening variety, with a maturation period of about 90-95 days, features dark green or bluish-green leaves with a strong waxy coating. Medium-height plants have numerous false stems and upright leaves up to 35 cm long, ensuring high yield of green leaves up to 7.9 kg per square meter during the vegetation period.

The Katana hybrid is characterized by high resistance to adverse conditions, including low temperatures and chlorotic lodging, as well as intermediate resistance to diseases such as Fusarium oxysporum and Pyrenochaeta terrestris. The onion differs in its short maturation period and stable productivity, making it attractive for farmers and gardeners seeking a quality harvest in a short time.

Moreover, Katana has an original sweet-pungent taste and good marketability of bulbs that maintain their shape and rich color. Maximum yield under drip irrigation can reach up to 100 tons per hectare. The variety is suitable for seedling technology and provides a high yield of standard uniform bulbs, making it a profitable choice for commercial cultivation.
