Description
Technical Profile of the "Veselka" Onion Variety
Developed by leading Ukrainian research institutes (NAAS), the "Veselka" onion is a mid-season salad variety engineered for balanced growth cycles and high storage stability. With a maturity period ranging from 90 to 110 days, it is specifically adapted to the regional climate of Ukraine, providing reliable yields for commercial producers.
Morphology and Yield Specifications
The variety produces bulbs that are spherical or flat-spherical in shape, making them ideal for standard sorting and retail packaging. The average weight of a marketable bulb is 80–90 grams. Key physical characteristics include:
- Skin Color: A rich deep-red and purple hue, which is highly sought after in the fresh market.
- Internal Structure: Crisp white flesh, typical of high-quality salad onions.
- Harvesting: Designed for manual harvesting to ensure minimal damage and maximum shelf life.
Agrotechnical Advantages and Resistance
A major technical advantage of the "Veselka" variety is its genetic resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis). This trait is critical for reducing the dependency on systemic fungicides, thereby lowering production costs and improving the environmental footprint of the crop. When stored under proper temperature conditions, the bulbs maintain their integrity for 6 to 7 months. This makes "Veselka" a strong candidate for autumn and winter supply chains, where long-term storage viability is a key economic factor.
