Spring onion is an onion that can be grown in either two years or one year when seeds are sown early. Usually, in the first year, the seeds grow into sets, which are planted in the ground in the spring, and full-sized, large bulbs are harvested in the autumn of the second year. Spring sowing allows for a good harvest with proper care and adherence to agricultural technology. Onion is a valuable product due to its high content of useful substances, making it indispensable on any garden or country plot.
Among the varieties suitable for spring growing, Sturon onion stands out — a late-maturing, semi-sharp variety with elongated-oval golden bulbs weighing 150-200 grams. This variety is characterized by high resistance to bolting and good storability, allowing the harvest to be stored for up to 9 months. Sturon onion is grown in the Netherlands and supplied in various packaging, which is convenient for gardeners and farmers.
Another popular variety is Stuttgarter Riesen, known for its high yield and disease resistance. The bulbs of this variety have a yellow color and soft white flesh, and the vegetation period is about 100-110 days. The variety is well-suited for growing in open ground, is characterized by stable yield up to 8 kg per square meter, and versatility of use — it is used for canning, drying, and in cooking. Thus, spring onion is an excellent choice for obtaining a quality and useful harvest.
