Sobola F1 (Sahara)

Focus on Processing and Long-Term Storage

The Cebola F1 (Sahara) hybrid from the Turkish breeder May Seed Group is a specialized tool for farmers aiming at industrial-scale production and supply for food processing plants. If your production strategy involves mechanized harvesting, this hybrid is an optimal choice due to its high uniformity and bulb density.

Agronomic Resilience and Potential

A major challenge for growers working with white onions is high susceptibility to soil-borne pathogens. Cebola F1 stands out from competitors due to its enhanced resistance to Fusarium and pink rot. This allows farmers to minimize expenditure on fungicide treatments during the active growing season. The 120–130 day growing period categorizes this hybrid as a long-day variety, perfectly suited for regions with high summer light intensity.

Storage and Logistics Excellence

• Storage: Its ability to remain in storage for up to 7 months makes it a versatile product, allowing you to release stock incrementally rather than selling immediately after harvest.
• Technology: The classic round shape and dense bronze-colored skin protect the delicate white flesh during machine harvesting and subsequent transport.
• End Use: Due to its specific color and organoleptic qualities, Cebola F1 is a favorite for manufacturers of dried onion mixes, sauces, and preserved food products.

By choosing this hybrid, growers ensure a predictable outcome: a strong root system, resistance to field diseases, and bulbs that maintain their market value even after months of storage.
