Kentavr

The Centaur onion is a mid-season variety that is popular among gardeners due to its high yield and resistance to adverse weather conditions. This variety is versatile in cultivation: it is grown for both greens and bulbs. From seedling emergence to green harvesting, it takes about 45-50 days, while the full maturity of the bulbs occurs after 96-106 days when the foliage begins to droop. Yield from one square meter reaches 9-10 kg of marketable bulbs, making Centaur a profitable choice for growing both for personal and commercial purposes. Centaur bulbs are distinguished by their round shape, dense structure, and large size: when sown with seeds, the bulb weight is 80-100 grams, and when grown via seedlings, it reaches 250-300 grams. The dry scales have a dark yellow hue, while the juicy inner layers are white-cream. The onion has a sweet taste, making it particularly attractive for raw consumption, for example, in salads. Furthermore, Centaur onions retain their nutritional properties even after thermal processing, allowing their use in soups, sauces, and side dishes without losing vitamins of group B, ascorbic acid, and minerals. The Centaur variety is distinguished by high resistance to diseases, particularly downy mildew, as well as to various adverse environmental factors. This makes it reliable and easy to grow. Onions can be grown from seeds, seedlings, or sets, providing flexibility in choosing a planting method. Thanks to its qualities and versatility, Centaur onion will be an excellent addition to your garden and diversify your diet with useful and tasty dishes.
