The «Corrado» onion variety by Hazera is a premier choice for professionals focused on early harvest and high commercial quality. Developed through collaboration between the Hebrew University and an international consortium of seed experts, including Western Seed España, this hybrid has become a staple in the salad onion segment. Its market success is driven by the integration of advanced Israeli stress-adaptation technologies and an impressive yield potential of 70–90 tons per hectare.

Key Agricultural Features

The defining characteristic of this hybrid is its rapid 90-day growth cycle, providing growers with the flexibility to double-crop or capture early-season market premiums. Despite being classified as a salad onion, the bulbs possess a robustness that facilitates storage and logistics. For commercial farmers, the genetic resistance to downy mildew (peronospora) is a significant advantage, drastically reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications during the growing season.
