Onion Louisa

Louisa onion is an early winter onion hybrid developed by Enza Zaden for super-early harvest. It enables significantly earlier market entry of fresh onions, forming marketable yield at the end of May — beginning of June. Meanwhile, onions can be harvested as cut onions from early to mid-May, allowing for higher market prices in bunches.

Louisa onion bulbs have a round shape with a diameter of 70 to 100 mm, covered with a strong, tightly fitting bronze or golden-colored scale. The average bulb weight reaches up to 100 grams. The hybrid exhibits high growth vigor, ensuring formation of high-quality bulbs without deformities even under dense planting. It possesses good winter hardiness and resistance to bolting, making it a reliable choice for winter cultivation in open ground.

This onion variety stands out for its high profitability due to early maturity and consistent product quality. Louisa is ideal for those aiming to harvest fresh onions as early as possible in the season, while ensuring a stable marketable yield and flexible market positioning.
