Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-season; the period from sets planting to harvest ranges from 60 to 115 days, depending on growing conditions. The bulbs have a uniform spherical or round shape, golden-brown color, a mass of 100 to 350 g, dense scales, and a neck of medium thickness. The variety is low-multiplicity, forming 1–2 bulbs.

The produce has a high dry matter content, which ensures excellent keeping quality. The taste of the variety is pungent, with a harmonious combination of sweetness and bitterness. The variety shows resistance to bolting and is suitable for cultivation by seed sowing, transplanting, and sets planting. The yield is 190–316 c/ha, and under intensive conditions, up to 50–70 t/ha; maturity rate is about 94%.
