Wama

Stability and Yield: Why Professionals Choose Vama

The Vama onion from the Polish breeding company Spojnia HNO sp. z o.o. is a prime example of a classic salad onion, designed for growers who prioritize high marketability. With a vegetation period of 120–130 days, this mid-late variety allows the bulb to not only reach a significant weight but also to develop high-quality protective scales necessary for long-term storage.

Key Features and Technological Advantages

• Massive Productivity: The stated yield, exceeding 100 tons per hectare, distinguishes this variety from many European counterparts. This is achieved through the uniformity of the bulbs, which typically weigh between 100 and 150 grams.
• Disease Resistance: The breeders at Spojnia HNO have placed a special emphasis on crop health. Vama demonstrates high resistance to downy mildew (peronospora), which is critical in humid summers when high infectious pressure could otherwise devastate a crop.
• Market Appearance: The bronze-yellow skin color and classic rounded shape make this onion a benchmark for the fresh produce market. As a salad-type onion, it offers excellent flavor without excessive pungency.

Who is this variety for?

Vama is an optimal solution for farms utilizing manual harvesting techniques. The variety provides consistent results when standard agrotechnical practices are followed. Its main strength lies in its predictability: it is not prone to bolting and delivers a uniform harvest. A comparative drawback, relative to hybrids intended for mechanical harvesting, is the requirement for careful handling during manual harvest, yet this is fully compensated for by the total volume and the quality of the marketable bulb. If you are looking for a reliable variety to serve the salad market with a high weight potential, Vama will become one of the most effective tools in your crop rotation.
