NORTHERN BLUES

Consistent performance for the fresh market

Working with the "Northern Blues" onion variety from "Heterosis Breeding" (Geterozisnaya selektsiya), agronomists appreciate its reliable growth cycle. With a maturity window of 100–110 days, this variety allows for precise harvest scheduling, while the consistent bulb weight of 230–270 grams makes it a prime candidate for fresh market sales. In temperate conditions, the bulbs maintain a dense structure, essential for storage and transport logistics.

Field experience and agronomy

• Reliability: Thanks to the efforts of the originators (Geterozisnaya Selektsiya, Vashe Khozyaistvo, and Agrofirma Mars), the seeds offer strong germination energy, performing well even when temperatures fluctuate.
• Marketability: Designed specifically for the fresh market, this variety ensures a high percentage of marketable produce. The target weight of 230–270 grams is highly valued by retailers for its uniformity and visual appeal.
• Maintenance: The crop is responsive to standard intensive farming techniques. It is forgiving of minor agronomic errors, yet consistent enough to reach its yield potential repeatedly.

If you are looking for a balance between fruit size and maturation time, this variety is a solid choice. The bulbs are robust and handle logistics well, which significantly lowers the rate of damage during shipping. Its natural resistance to common culture-specific diseases also keeps maintenance costs in check, ultimately improving the profitability per hectare.
