Description
The Centurion F1 onion is a mid-season, high-yielding hybrid of winter onion developed by the Dutch breeding company Broer B.V. This variety matures in approximately 90 days and is suitable for cultivation both on private garden plots and on an industrial scale. The bulbs have an elongated-round or spindle shape, which facilitates slicing compared to round-flat or spherical varieties. The weight of a single bulb ranges from 110 to 150 grams, and the color of the outer scales varies from golden-yellow to brownish, while the inner layers are juicy and white.
The hybrid is characterized by high yield, reaching 4-5 kg per square meter with proper care, which corresponds to 300-400 centners per hectare. Centurion F1 onion has a sharp taste and high disease resistance, and it is not prone to bolting. A small basal plate and narrow neck reduce waste during slicing and prevent the penetration of spoilage bacteria, thereby increasing storage life and shelf stability.
For successful cultivation, choose sunny areas with neutral, fertile soil; however, the hybrid adapts well to various soil types. The optimal planting density is 10 cm between plants and 20 cm between rows. Spring planting depth should be 3-5 cm, while winter planting should be 6-10 cm. The dense and tough outer scale ensures resistance to mechanical damage, which is especially important during transportation and storage.
