Onion variety Ozerskiy is a fruiting plant featuring large bulbs with white flesh and a membranous structure. The plant has tubular leaves of blue-green color, and a hollow flowering stalk topped by an umbel inflorescence. The fruit is a capsule containing several seeds. This variety is distinguished by excellent taste qualities both fresh and after thermal processing; notably, the onion does not burn or blacken when fried, making it particularly attractive for industrial use and home cooking.
The Ozerskiy variety was developed by the company 'Lukamore' and adapted for cultivation in various climatic zones of Russia. It is characterized by high yield and resistance to adverse weather conditions. Onion sets of this variety tolerate transportation well and exhibit excellent storability, maintaining their qualities during storage at temperatures slightly above zero without bolting, which significantly extends their shelf life.
To obtain a high-quality harvest, it is recommended to plant sets on well-lit areas with light, fertile, and well-permeable soil of neutral reaction. It is important to maintain soil moisture, regularly water young plants, and conduct surface loosening to prevent the formation of a soil crust. Harvest collection should begin when the foliage stops growing and starts to yellow, and the bulbs acquire the characteristic shade of the variety. After harvesting, the onion must be dried in the sun and then stored in the shade.
