Shtutti Onion — a high-yielding, mid-early maturing winter onion variety of Dutch origin, characterized by large, round bulbs weighing 120–160 grams. The bulbs have yellow-brown scales, a dense skin, and white, juicy flesh with a firm core. The onion has a sharp, spicy flavor, making it popular both for home and professional cultivation. The variety is versatile and suitable for both green shoot production and bulb cultivation.
One of the key features of the Shtutti variety is its high yield and increased output of marketable bulbs, making it one of the best options for commercial cultivation. The onion retains its quality for up to eight months due to its dense skin and high dry matter content. The plant reaches a height of 40–50 cm and exhibits strong immunity, resistance to false powdery mildew and bolting, and is only slightly affected by other diseases.
The maturation period for Shtutti onion sown in spring is approximately 75 days until plant collapse, while for winter sowing, the harvest is ready by the end of June. The variety adapts well to various climatic conditions, including cool regions, expanding its cultivation potential. Due to its marketable and flavorful qualities, as well as resistance to diseases, Shtutti onion is widely used in culinary applications and is a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners.
