Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a powerful root system and a strong leaf apparatus with a pronounced waxy bloom. The bulbs are round in shape, medium to large in size (60–80 mm), and have a thin neck that dries well. The outer scales are dense, which ensures the preservation of the crop.

The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to high temperatures and moisture deficiency, and also tolerates high-density planting well. The produce is characterized by uniformity and a moderately pungent taste. The onion is intended for fresh consumption, processing, and storage for up to four months.
