Sulov F1

Stable yields for long-term storage: why growers choose Sulov F1

In the long-day onion segment, where every day of vegetation and disease resistance counts, Turkish breeder May Seed Group offers a solution focused on professional production. The Sulov F1 hybrid is a balanced tool for farms planning to market their harvest six months after the initial harvest.

Resistance as the Foundation of Economics

The main challenge in industrial onion cultivation is soil-borne infection. Sulov F1 stands out from many analogs due to its tolerance to Fusarium and pink rot. This significantly reduces the costs of fungicide applications during the growing season. The ability to harvest a healthy bulb under high disease pressure makes this hybrid a reliable option for fields with intensive crop rotation.

Agrotechnical Advantages

• Loss-free Mechanization: The hybrid is adapted for mechanical harvesting. A dense structure and high-quality bronze-yellow scales minimize bulb damage by harvesters.
• Storage: The ability to maintain marketable quality for 6–7 months allows farmers to wait for peak market prices, avoiding forced sales immediately after harvest.
• Market Appearance: The round shape and snowy white interior ensure an attractive product for retail and processing plants.

Who is this hybrid for?

Sulov F1 is optimal for large-scale operations focused on exports or long-term storage. The maturation period of 110–120 days requires precise planning of sowing dates, but the result—consistent bulb quality with excellent shelf life—justifies the investment in May Seed Group technology.
