MAAS 01

Consistent Yields for Industrial Onion Production

The «MAAS 01» variety, developed by T.O.P. Onionsets B.V. (Netherlands), is designed for farms focused on high marketability and automated field operations. Reaching maturity in 100–110 days, this variety serves both the fresh market segment and industrial processing with equal reliability.

Agronomic Advantages

The primary value of «MAAS 01» lies in its robust genetic resistance to common soil-borne and foliar diseases, which is essential for maximizing harvest quality while optimizing fungicide usage:

• Disease Resistance: The variety exhibits strong tolerance to downy mildew (Peronospora) and root rot.
• Soil Health Management: High resilience against Fusarium ensures successful production cycles even in fields with intensive crop rotation.

Field Performance and Harvesting

The bulbs feature an attractive round-to-flat shape, weighing between 80 and 90 grams. Their vibrant brown and bronze-yellow outer skin ensures excellent shelf appeal, while the clean white internal flesh meets the specific standards required by food processors.

With a potential yield of 90–100 tons per hectare, the variety is explicitly suited for mechanized harvesting. The firm protective scales and uniformity of the bulbs minimize mechanical damage during combine harvesting, which in turn significantly improves post-harvest storage life. For growers looking to scale production, «MAAS 01» offers a reliable, low-maintenance path to high-volume output.
