Medallion F1 Onion is a high-yielding hybrid of Spanish-type bulb onion, characterized by its early maturity and resilience to adverse conditions. The technical maturity period is 80-85 days, allowing for a quick harvest. Bulbs are round, weighing 150-300 grams, with a slender neck and dense bronze-brown scales that provide reliable protection and long-term storage for up to 4 months or more. High dry matter content (over 14%) helps preserve the nutritional value and quality of the product over time.
The Medallion F1 hybrid exhibits high resistance to stress, including fluctuations in humidity and unfavorable weather conditions, and has moderate resistance to diseases such as Fusarium and root rot. The onion responds well to mineral fertilizers and sunlight, promoting uniform, dense bulbs with a pleasant, slightly spicy flavor. Due to its high bulb density and stress resistance, harvesting can be done using combine harvesters, simplifying agricultural operations.
Medallion F1 is versatile in planting methods — it can be grown both directly sown and through seedlings, maintaining high productivity with yields of up to 100-130 tons per hectare under good agronomic conditions. The onion is primarily intended for fresh markets, thanks to its attractive appearance and excellent taste. Seed producer: Sakata Seed from Japan, ensuring high quality and hybrid stability.
