Description
"Krasny Cardinal": German breeding for the salad market
In the professional vegetable market, the "Krasny Cardinal" onion variety from "Ooo Agroplaneta" occupies a distinct niche. Developed in collaboration with renowned originators Satimex Quedlinburg, Svetlana Leonidovna Glebova, and Hartmut Klein, this variety embodies German quality standards focused on aesthetics and culinary performance. As a quintessential salad-type onion, it is not intended for long-term winter storage, a trade-off that is fully compensated by its superior gastronomic qualities.
With a genetically driven yield potential exceeding 100 tons per hectare, this variety is highly attractive to commercial farms targeting quick sales within the HoReCa segment and retail chains. The 150–160 day vegetation period necessitates strict adherence to sowing schedules to ensure a high-quality marketable crop.
Key specifications and cultivation
- Shape and Color: The bulbs feature an aesthetic round or flat-round shape, with deep red skin and internal scales.
- Harvesting: The variety requires careful handling, as it is suited exclusively for manual harvesting. This technique preserves the product's market appearance and prevents mechanical damage to the outer layers.
- Storage: The storage life is limited to 1–2 months. This characteristic highlights that "Krasny Cardinal" is primarily a "fresh-from-the-field" product intended for early-season market turnover.
The variety's reputation is built on its visual appeal to consumers: its vibrant color and moderate sharpness make it an ideal ingredient for fresh salads. By choosing "Krasny Cardinal" from "Ooo Agroplaneta," growers gain access to verified German genetic material. While it requires skillful manual harvesting, it guarantees an excellent yield when cultivation protocols are strictly followed.
