Description
Elbrus F1 bulbs have a round shape, large or medium size, and dense structure with good scale adhesion. Their color is dark bronze, and dry scales are dark brown, giving the onion an attractive appearance. Inner juicy scales are white with a slight greenish tint, and the flavor is semi-pungent. The neck is thin and single-bud, contributing to long-term storage and reduced damage during transport. Individual bulb weight ranges from 90 to 150 grams.
The Elbrus F1 hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases such as Fusarium and root rot, significantly improving harvest reliability. The onion is suitable for fresh consumption, processing, and long-term storage, maintaining its quality and market appearance. The recommended sowing rate is 0.9-1.0 million seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal planting density and maximum productivity.
