Meran F1 onion is a reliable mid-season hybrid of semi-pointed bulb onion, developed by the breeding company Hazera from the Netherlands. The vegetation period is approximately 110-115 days from seedling emergence to harvest. This hybrid is intended for cultivation in open ground and is characterized by high adaptability, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. The onion is resistant to root rot and does not bolt, significantly enhancing its resistance and harvest quality.
Meran F1 bulbs have an ideal round shape and large size, covered with dense, rich bronze scales that adhere well to the surface. The flesh is white, crisp, and juicy, with a moderately spicy, sweet, and flavorful taste. Plants possess a strong leafy canopy and a robust waxy coating, contributing to their health and resilience. Thanks to their slender necks, the bulbs are easily harvested mechanically, making this hybrid particularly suitable for industrial cultivation.
One of the key advantages of Meran F1 is its excellent storage life: the onion retains its market appearance and nutritional value until March-April, allowing it to be used both fresh and for processing. The recommended sowing rate is 1.0 million seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal yield. This hybrid combines high quality, disease resistance, and ease of harvest, making it an advantageous choice for farmers and agricultural enterprises.
