Onion
NUNHEMS
| Hybrid of medium-late maturing, semi-compact, bulbous onion. Harvest matures on day 115-120 after emergence, enabling harvesting and drying before the rainy season begins. Proper harvesting and drying conditions allow storage for over 6 months. Bulb is perfectly round, golden-brown, averaging 110-200g with relatively small diameter (in sparse plantings and with enhanced nutrition, bulb weight reaches 400-500g). Inner scales are thick, very juicy and crunchy. Exceptionally high yielding. At planting density of 30-45 plants per square meter, 50% of bulbs have diameter over 12 cm. At density of 50 plants per sq.m, up to 90% have diameter 10-12 cm. Highest tolerance to pink rot and fusarium. Recommended for cultivation between 45° and 50°. This is why it is used for producing ultra-large bulbs (up to 800 g). In 2000-2005, on test and production plots in Crimea, Kyiv, Odesa, Kherson, Cherkasy and other regions, yielded 38 (on bare soil), 38-70 (normal irrigation), 70-120 (drip irrigation, seedlings) tons per hectare. In more northern areas, early planting is advised. |

By day length
Onion is very sensitive to day length, so it is very important not to delay sowing and to cultivate varieties and hybrids appropriate for the day length, previously tested in this zone. Growing hybrids not intended for this zone can significantly affect yield, possibly causing pr... |

Harvest Method
Harvest Method
Most existing onion varieties are harvested manually. This is because onion bulbs are very sensitive to mechanical damage. However, there are varieties whose bulbs have a hard consistency and are suitable for mechanical harvesting. |
