GRANATA

Technical Profile of the 'Granata' Hybrid

The 'Granata' onion variety, developed by Agrobiotrade (originator: Alexander Nikolaevich Logunov), is a horticultural solution tailored for the salad onion segment, emphasizing consistent commercial quality. The core engineering focus of this hybrid is the synergy between bulb density and the biochemical composition that ensures inherent resistance to Fusarium wilt.

Morphology and Growth Cycle

With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, 'Granata' falls into the mid-early hybrid category. This growth rate enables optimal utilization of seasonal temperatures and soil moisture, avoiding harvest risks late in the season. The round-cuboid bulb shape is engineered for stacking efficiency during transport and facilitates streamlined mechanical cleaning processes.

Production Specifications

• Yield Metrics: The hybrid features exceptional uniformity. Marketable bulb weight ranges from 140 to 180 grams, meeting standard retail requirements.
• Color Profile: Deep red skin and matching internal tissues signify a salad-type onion with reduced pungency.
• Disease Defense: Genetic resistance to Fusarium significantly reduces the need for intensive fungicide applications, offering an economic advantage for large-scale operations.

Integrating 'Granata' into crop rotation allows growers to achieve predictable yields with high commercial viability, minimizing storage losses through the dense structure of its protective scales.
