This widely adaptable bunching onion variety is specifically designed for efficient and high-yield production. The single stem design maximizes pack-out rates, making it ideal for commercial farming. Its dark green foliage contrasts beautifully with clean white shanks, improving marketability and consumer appeal.
With resistance to Red Rust, this variety maintains strong field performance even in challenging conditions. Optimal plant spacing ranges from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 plants per hectare, ensuring high-density yields. Raised beds provide the best growing conditions, supporting proper root development and moisture retention.
Additionally, sandy loam soils with good drainage facilitate clean and well-formed onions, while pH levels above 6 enhance nutrient uptake. Frequent irrigation is crucial due to the shallow root system, with weekly water requirements increasing from 15mm to 35mm depending on growth stages.
