Industrial-grade productivity

When selecting a variety for processing, the «Saharnaya Golova» hybrid from «Geterozisnaya Selektsiya» stands out for its sheer volume and durability. With a maturation period of 150–160 days, it is a late-season crop that demands precise management but delivers a remarkable yield of over 100 tons per hectare.

Operational performance

• Harvesting: The bulbs exhibit excellent structural integrity, making them well-suited for mechanical harvesting and bulk transport without significant mechanical damage.
• Storage: In controlled environments, the shelf life reaches 6–7 months, providing a stable supply for industrial processing lines throughout the winter season.
• Processing: Specifically optimized for drying and preserving, this variety offers a high dry matter content which is crucial for maximizing processing efficiency.

Our experience with the genetics provided by the breeders (Geterozisnaya Selektsiya, Vashe Khozyaystvo, and Agrofirma Mars) confirms that this hybrid thrives under intensive irrigation management. It develops a robust root system, allowing the crop to tolerate transient environmental stress. For commercial growers looking to balance scale with high quality, this variety remains a top-tier choice for consistent, large-scale production.
