Red onion Meranto F1 — a medium-maturing hybrid with a maturation period of 110-115 days from emergence, developed by the breeding company Hazera from the Netherlands. This variety is characterized by high yield and versatility, suitable for cultivation in open ground under various climatic conditions. Meranto F1 forms large, perfectly round bulbs with dense, rich bronze outer scales that are well-attached to the bulb, contributing to excellent appearance and long-term storage.
The plants have a strong leafy apparatus and a robust waxy coating, enhancing their resistance to adverse factors. The onion is resistant to bolting and pink root rot, significantly reducing crop losses and improving product quality. The flesh is white, crisp, and juicy, with a moderately spicy, sweet, and rich flavor, making it popular for both fresh consumption and processing.
Meranto F1 exhibits outstanding storage qualities — bulbs maintain their market appearance and nutritional value until March-April. This hybrid is suitable for mechanized harvesting and is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable, high-quality onion crop with excellent taste and technological characteristics.
