Onion Katinka F1 is a high-yielding Spanish-type hybrid with a vegetative period of 105 to 120 days. The bulbs are round, dense, and weigh up to 100-120 grams. Their surface is covered with a shiny yellow-bronze scale, and the flesh is white with a greenish tint. The onion has a semi-pungent flavor, making it versatile for fresh consumption and processing.
This variety is highly resistant to stressful conditions and a range of diseases, including powdery mildew, fusarium, and rot. Thanks to these qualities, Katinka F1 tolerates mechanical harvesting well and is suitable for cultivation in various regions on open ground. Hybrid seeds provide a high yield with a sowing rate of 0.9 to 1.2 million seeds per hectare.
Katinka F1 has excellent commercial qualities: the onions store well, retain their properties, and transport well. This makes them popular for both fresh markets and long-term storage. It is recommended to grow as an annual crop from seed, which ensures a stable and high-quality yield.
