The Safrane F1 onion is a medium-maturing hybrid with a vegetation period of about 110 days, developed for cultivation in open ground and various types of soil. It features a strong root system and well-developed leaf apparatus, ensuring active growth even under drought and sharp temperature fluctuations. The onion is resistant to major diseases such as fusarium rot and downy mildew, contributing to high-quality yields.
Safrane F1 bulbs have a round-spherical shape, weighing between 150 to 300 grams, with dense, rich golden-yellow scales. The inner scales are white, succulent, crisp, and juicy. The bulb neck is of medium thickness, with a semi-pungent flavor and moderate sweetness, making this variety versatile for culinary use — including fresh dishes, freezing, canning, and drying as spice. The onion stores and transports well, allowing for marketing during the autumn-winter period.
Safrane F1 is suitable for spring and fall planting, with recommended planting depths of 3-5 cm in spring and 6-10 cm in fall. The recommended planting density is 10 cm between plants and 20 cm between rows. The hybrid is also suitable for mechanical harvest without significant damage. Due to its stress resistance and ability to regenerate after extreme conditions, this onion is a reliable choice for both fresh market and processing.
