Description
Blooster F1 — this is a unique mid-season long-day onion hybrid, intended for cultivation in Ukraine and Moldova. The maturity period is approximately 113-120 days, allowing for an early harvest. The bulbs have a proper round shape, exhibit high uniformity, and possess an attractive market appearance. Their weight ranges from 130 to 330 grams, occasionally reaching 500 grams. The outer scales have a bronze coloration, while the flesh is white, making this variety especially popular in markets and stores, where it appears among the first in the season. The Blooster F1 hybrid is characterized by high yield and excellent storability, enabling the bulbs to be stored for up to 7 months without quality loss. It is resistant to major diseases such as basal rot and root rot, and also demonstrates high tolerance to bolting. Due to its dense bulb structure and scale retention, this variety withstands various weather conditions and is suitable for mechanized harvesting. Direct seeding is recommended with a rate of approximately 1 million seeds per hectare, ensuring the formation of a full-sized bulb within one growing season. Blooster F1 is well-adapted to surface irrigation and demonstrates versatility in application. Its high adaptability to climatic conditions and disease resistance make this hybrid a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality and stable onion yields with extended storage capacity.
