Giant Golden Onion F1: enormous bulbs with a balanced flavor

The Giant Golden Onion F1 is a hybrid golden onion known for its very large round bulbs, often exceeding 700 grams. Perfect for those seeking exceptionally sized onions with a moderately pungent flavor and a pleasantly tender texture.

This variety is resistant to fusarium wilt, a fungal disease that can affect onions in infected soils, ensuring safer and more productive cultivation.

Growing Characteristics

Exposure: Full Sun
Plants that prefer full sun require a south-facing exposure, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, even during the central 3-4 summer hours. The exposure indicates how many hours of direct sunlight the plant needs for optimal growth. It can be full sun, partial shade, or shade, depending on the amount of natural light the plant needs to thrive and produce fruit. This information helps position the plants to encourage their growth.

Harvest Time: 100 days
The harvest time indicates how many days until the fruit is ready to be picked (note: ripening may occur at different times than indicated, influenced by climatic factors, irrigation, and soil fertility).

Transplant Distance: 20x30
The transplant distance is the space between plants at the time of planting, both within the row and between rows. A proper distance avoids competition for light and nutrients, promoting growth and production, while distances that are too close or too wide can negatively affect the quantity and quality of the fruit.

Weight: 700 g
Indicates the average weight of the harvested fruits under normal growing conditions. This value may vary depending on factors such as the harvest phase, fertilization practices, and climatic conditions. In early harvests, the weight may be lower than indicated values. Additionally, conditions such as drought, water shortage, temperature fluctuations, and poor or excessive nitrogen fertilization can affect fruit growth, which may be above or below expectations.

Tips for Achieving Giant Sizes

To achieve exceptionally sized bulbs, it is important to:

• Transplant with a distance of 15-20 cm between seedlings
• Periodically hoe the soil to promote development
• Transplant from late March for optimal climatic conditions

Note on Storage: after harvest, this variety should be consumed within a few months as it does not store well.
