LUHANSK

Stable Yield and Predictable Storage

When planning large-scale onion cultivation, it is critical that the variety is resilient in the field and keeps well until spring. The "Lugansky" variety from the Lugansk Institute of Selection and Technology is a classic that has proven its reputation as a reliable workhorse for vegetable growers over the decades. In real-world operation, this variety demonstrates remarkable endurance.

Field Operations and Harvesting

The maturation period ranges from 90 to 110 days, allowing for a flexible work schedule. In the field, the bulb forms dense and uniform—a factor critical for marketability and the efficiency of manual harvesting. We rarely encounter high rates of defects: the round shape and strong bronze-yellow or light-brown scales protect the crop during handling and container loading.

Yield and Storage Economics

Actual yields exceeding 100 tons per hectare make "Lugansky" an economically attractive choice. When proper post-harvest drying techniques are applied, bulbs weighing between 150 and 250 grams can be stored for 6-7 months without significant losses. This allows farmers to avoid selling off crops immediately "from the field" at dumping prices and instead wait for more favorable market conditions.

• High marketable yield: minimal percentage of hollow or underdeveloped bulbs.
• Resistance to stressful weather conditions.
• Excellent bulb density, simplifying logistics and storage.
• Classic flavor profile highly demanded in the market.

If you are looking for a variety that is forgiving of minor agrotechnical errors and guarantees a stable supply of marketable products with manual labor, "Lugansky" remains one of the most reliable tools in your arsenal.
