Description
Helenas F1 onion is a medium-early, semi-bitter hybrid with round bulbs weighing from 100 to 200 grams. The bulb features dark brown or dark copper-colored dry scales and white, slightly greenish juicy scales. The plant has a slender neck, which promotes rapid maturation and good curing — up to 92% before harvest and 100% after additional curing. Helenas F1 forms marketable bulbs approximately 125-130 days after emergence, making it suitable for both fresh market and mechanical harvesting and long-term storage. The Helenas F1 plant is vigorous, with a well-developed leafy canopy and deep root system, ensuring high resistance to diseases and stress. The hybrid is highly productive — marketable yield reaches 434-601 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding standard varieties, with maximum yield potentially reaching 982 centners per hectare. Due to its resistance and low maintenance requirements, Helenas F1 is easy to grow even for novice gardeners, while maintaining stable yields even under non-intensive cultivation conditions. A distinctive feature of Helenas F1 is its excellent bulb uniformity and tightly adhering outer scales, with dry matter content exceeding 12%, positively affecting taste and storage. The onion has a mild semi-bitter flavor and is suitable for both processing and fresh sale. Thanks to its slender neck and strong growth, the hybrid matures quickly and is resistant to bolting, making it an optimal choice for producers targeting high yields and quality produce.
