Onion Meduza

Medusa Onion — an early-maturing hybrid of bulb onion, jointly developed by Dutch and Japanese breeders to achieve high yields of quality produce. The technical maturity period is 100 to 115 days after mass germination. The plant features a strong root system and high stress tolerance, enabling successful cultivation even under high temperatures and water deficiency. The hybrid is low-maintenance and tolerates dense planting without reducing yield.

Medusa bulbs have a round shape, uniform appearance, and bronze-brown outer scales. Fruit diameter ranges from 6 to 8 cm, and weight from 150 to 300 grams. The inner part of the bulbs is snow-white, indicating high product quality. The hybrid is suitable for both fresh market and mechanized harvesting. Seed germination exceeds 95%, with a recommended seeding rate of approximately 1,000,000 seeds per hectare.

Medusa onion has a long storage life — under proper conditions, it retains its quality for 5-6 months, allowing for winter market sales. Yield reaches 80-100 tons per hectare, making it a profitable choice for commercial cultivation. Thanks to its characteristics and Japanese origin, this variety combines high productivity, disease and stress resistance, and attractive bulb appearance.
