Reliable Yields in the White Onion Segment

Cultivating white bulb onions often comes with significant risks due to the crop’s vulnerability to soil-borne pathogens. The «Wellington» hybrid from Syngenta is a strategic solution for producers focusing on commercial quality. Its primary competitive advantage lies in strong genetic resistance to pink root rot, serving as a vital insurance policy for fields with high disease pressure.

Agronomic Profile and Performance

• Maturity: up to 90 days, facilitating efficient harvest scheduling.
• Yield Potential: up to 50 tons per hectare. When proper agronomic practices are applied, this hybrid consistently delivers on its genetic potential.
• Bulb Characteristics: features a uniform round shape, bronze-colored outer skin, and pristine white internal structure.

Unlike many niche salad varieties, «Wellington» is remarkably versatile. It is suitable for both fresh market consumption and industrial processing. The density of the bulb ensures excellent post-harvest quality, significantly reducing waste during grading and packing.

Why Choose This Hybrid?

The core value of «Wellington» lies in its perfect balance between earliness and resilience. Many early-maturing white onion varieties suffer from weak immunity; however, Syngenta's Swiss breeding expertise has produced a robust hybrid that matures quickly while maintaining root system health under stress. For farms aiming to meet strict market standards while minimizing financial losses from root diseases, «Wellington» offers the predictability and performance required for a successful season.
