Crusado

Yield Stability and Storage Potential

When selecting a hybrid for large-scale onion production, the priority is always on characteristics that minimize risks during processing and distribution. «Crusado» from the Israeli breeding company Hazera is a tool for those focused on results: from field operations to the retail shelf. With a yield potential exceeding 100 tons per hectare, this hybrid addresses the efficiency of land use.

Agronomic Field Performance

A maturity period of 90-100 days makes Crusado an excellent choice for planning production cycles according to regional weather patterns. The flat-round bulb shape is optimal for automated sorting and packaging lines. While manual harvesting is recommended to preserve visual quality, the hybrid's structure allows for handling high volumes of produce efficiently within tight harvest windows.

Applications: From Processing to Long-Term Storage

• Processing: High flavor profile and dense structure make this onion highly desirable for the HoReCa segment and the food processing industry.
• Fresh Market: White, juicy flesh combined with bright brown outer scales ensures a premium market appearance that endures even after long-distance transport.
• Storage: A key asset for the farmer is the ability to maintain produce in storage for 9-10 months. This allows producers to capture higher market prices, avoiding the need for fire sales immediately after harvest.

By investing in Hazera seed stock, you secure predictable outcomes, where the breeding focus is strictly on commercial durability and high marketable yield.
