Variety description

10 August 2026

The Griffon variety belongs to the category of early-maturing brown onions. It is characterized by good initial growth vigor and is capable of producing a high yield earlier than main-season varieties.

During trials, the variety demonstrated low susceptibility to downy mildew, as symptoms of this disease appeared late. The variety is intended for commercial cultivation from sets, which allows for the harvesting of produce during periods of supply shortages of the previous year's onion crop.
