Description
Leone is a late, high-yielding variety of onion that matures in 115-130 days. This variety features large, uniform, round bulbs with an attractive bronze tinge on the upper dry scales. The inner flesh is snowy white, tender, semi-pungent, crisp, and free of bitterness, providing a pleasant pungent-spicy flavor. The dry matter content in the bulb reaches 9.1%, contributing to prolonged preservation of both quality and taste for up to 8 months or more.
Leone has a strong root system and high bulb density, making it resistant to diseases such as alternaria blight, root rot, and fusarium. It is well-adapted to continental climates with water deficit, heat-tolerant, and suitable for mechanical harvesting. The plant’s leaves are dark green with a waxy coating, further indicating its robust health and resilience.
This onion variety is intended for fresh consumption, processing, and long-term storage. It can be successfully grown both as transplants and without transplanting, forming large bulbs in a single season. Recommended planting scheme — 1x10 cm spacing, at a depth of 3 cm, with seed consumption of 4-8 g per square meter. Leone is an optimal choice for cultivation in Ukraine and Moldova, combining high productivity, excellent taste qualities, and attractive market appearance.
