Kira

Kira F1 Onion is an overwintering F1 hybrid designed for early bunch and marketable yield. This variety boasts an ultra-early vegetative period, enabling harvest approximately two weeks earlier than other varieties, such as Wolf. The recommended sowing period is the second decade of August or the first decade of September, which is optimal for overwintering cultivation, especially in southern regions. Kira F1 Onion is suitable for manual harvesting and ensures long-term storage of the crop.

The hybrid forms uniform round bulbs with a diameter of 65-80 mm and a weight of 140-200 grams. The outer scales are golden in color and fit tightly, contributing to high marketability. The onion has a semi-sharp taste, and the neck is thin, which facilitates processing and preparation for sale. Kira F1 is distinguished by high yield, reaching 600 centners per hectare, and resistance to stress conditions, including adverse weather factors and powdery mildew.

This variety is recommended for cultivation both as a one-year crop from seeds with autumn sowing and as an overwintering crop. Thanks to its winter hardiness and disease resistance, Kira F1 is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality and early harvests. The hybrid producer is Hazera, and the originator is ISI SEMENTI S.P.A. from Italy.
