Starter F1 Onion — an early hybrid of bulb onion from Dutch selection by Hazera company, intended for cultivation in open ground from late spring to late autumn. The vegetation period is 100-110 days, enabling relatively quick harvest of fresh produce. The plant is vigorous with active growth and well-developed leaf apparatus, resistant to fusarium and bolting, ensuring stable yield under various climatic conditions. The hybrid is suitable for mechanized sowing, cultivation, and harvesting, simplifying agronomic operations.
Starter F1 bulbs have round shape with diameter from 6.5 to 8.5 cm and average weight of 130-180 g. The outer skin is golden-bronze, dense and tough, while inner scales are white, thick and fleshy, retaining elasticity and juiciness for a long time. The onion has rich semi-sharp flavor and high nutritional value. High content of dry matter in flesh ensures excellent taste and long-term storage up to 8 months without loss of quality.
The hybrid develops well on light soils with neutral or slightly alkaline reaction (pH 7-8), prefers drip irrigation and regular weeding. Starter F1 onion is suitable for fresh consumption, cooking hot dishes, preservation and freezing. Thanks to high yield — up to 50-70 tons per hectare — and universal application, this hybrid is an excellent choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain quality and stable harvest.
