Tamara F1

Tamara F1 onion is a medium-early, high-yielding hybrid developed by the Dutch seed company Bejo Zaden. The maturation period is approximately 105-108 days after emergence, allowing for a single-season harvest. The hybrid is adapted for cultivation in open ground on various soil types, including regions with a sharply continental climate, and demonstrates resistance to adverse weather conditions, drought, and stress factors. The plant features large, long leaf-blades and a robust root system, contributing to its high vitality and resistance to diseases such as downy mildew, root rot, and fusarium, as well as pests.

Tamara F1 bulbs have a round, slightly flattened shape with uniform size and weight up to 300 grams. Their color ranges from golden-bronze to dark straw, with dense outer scales providing excellent protection during harvesting, transportation, and storage. Inner scales are snow-white, crisp, juicy, and semi-sharp in flavor without bitterness and with a pleasant onion aroma. Dry matter content reaches 11.8%, contributing to good storability and shelf life of up to 8 months after harvest. Tamara F1 onion is suitable for fresh consumption, processing, and widely used in cooking for preparing various dishes.

The hybrid is characterized by high yield — with proper agronomic practices, 60 to 75 tons of quality product per hectare can be obtained. Sowing seeds is recommended at a rate of 1-1.2 million seeds per hectare, at a depth of about 3 cm and a planting scheme of 1x10 cm. Sowing can be done either with seeds or seedlings, in open ground or under cover. Tamara F1 is well-suited for mechanized harvesting due to its uniformity and marketability. This onion is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a stable and high-quality harvest under various climatic conditions.
