YELO

Field Experience with Bejo's Yello Onion

When working with Dutch genetics from Bejo Zaden B.V., you expect a specific standard of quality. The 'Yello' variety is a specialized tool in my rotation, tailored specifically for processing and the fresh market. It is not an all-purpose variety, but rather a focused product designed for efficiency.

Vegetation and Harvesting Insights

The 150–160 day maturation period requires precise management. As a grower, you must note that this variety strictly requires manual harvesting. The elliptical shape of the bulb makes it sensitive; mechanical harvesting risks compromising the shell and the bulb structure, so plan your labor resources accordingly early in the season.

Marketability and Storage

The bulb weight ranges from 80–90g to larger 200–250g specimens, providing flexibility in sizing for different market channels. The light-brown outer skin protects a clean white flesh, which is highly appreciated in the processing industry and salad prep. Storage life is limited to 3–4 months. My advice: target your sales window immediately post-harvest to maintain the best quality profile, as quality begins to decline after the four-month mark.

• Type: Onion for processing and salad segments.
• Harvest: Manual only; ensures premium shelf-ready appearance.
• Yield: Uniform sizing (up to 250g max).

If you need a reliable, high-quality ingredient for food processing or fresh salads, Yello delivers that typical Bejo consistency in terms of flavor and flesh structure.
