Breeding history

Elan onions were bred by breeders from the Kuban on the basis of GAU im. Trubilin in 1990. After several variety trials, in 1997 the vegetable crop was added to the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. The authorship belongs to V. P. Tugolukov, G. I. Tarakanov, A. V. Kuznetsov and E. I. Tugolukova. The vegetable is cultivated in the North Caucasian region. Onions are grown mainly in open ground.

Greens grow to a height of 30 cm. Feathers are ideal for cutting and eating fresh. During the active growing season, feathers do not lodge. A distinctive feature is the tendency to shoot, so the landing is carried out strictly within the specified temperature period.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and bulbs

The diameter of the root crop is about 7-8 cm. The shape of the vegetable is correct - round or slightly flattened. The surface of the root crop is smooth, firm, with 2-3 tight-fitting dry scales of a yellow-golden color. The onion pulp is snow-white, and the onion itself is quite dense. In structure, the vegetable is medium-sized, containing from 2 to 4 bulbs.

The dug out bow can be easily transported over different distances, and also stored for a short time in a cool, ventilated place. With prolonged storage, the vegetable deforms, dries out, losing its visual appeal.

Among its relatives, the Elan onion stands out for its excellent taste. The snow-white pulp is characterized by moderate density, meatiness, juiciness and pleasant crunch. The vegetable has a balanced taste - sweetish, with low pungency and pleasant spicy notes. The bulbs also do not have a pronounced pungency and classic aroma.

The pulp contains many vitamins of group C, B, PP, K, A, trace elements - calcium, phosphorus, iron, silicon, potassium. The harvested crop is ideal for vegetable salads, meat dishes, marinades, sauces, fresh eating. In addition, onions have antiseptic and antioxidant effects.

Maturation

Onions represent a class of early maturing crops. The growing season lasts only 64-99 days. Specimens ripen amicably. The harvest time is directly related to when the onions are planted. If planted in early spring, then digging begins in mid-July, and if in late autumn, then you can taste juicy vegetables already in late May - early June.

Yield

The productivity of the variety is good if the crop is properly cared for. On average, from 1 m2 of plantings, you can dig up from 2.5 to 5 kg of juicy bulbs. On an industrial scale, the yield is also high - the average indicators in the North Caucasus region are 100-250 c / ha.

Planting dates with seeds, seedlings and seedlings

Spring planting is carried out in late March - early April, it is enough for the soil to warm up to + 1 ... 2 degrees. Podzimny sowing is carried out in October-November - 3 weeks before the onset of stable frosts up to -2 ... 3 degrees. It is recommended to plant sevok on a feather in August at a temperature of + 22 ... 25 degrees.

Growing and caring

Onions are cultivated in several ways - by seed or set. Before sowing, the seeds are pre-checked for suitability, disinfected and treated with a growth stimulant. Depth into grooves no more than 1.5-2 cm.The distance between rows is 15-20 cm.

When growing with seedlings, there are also subtleties - identical bulbs of 1.5 cm in diameter are selected, buried in the grooves by 4-5 cm, observing the planting pattern of 30x10 cm.

The best precursors for onions are: peas, beans, cabbage and cauliflower, tomatoes, pumpkin crops.

When growing a vegetable, it is recommended to follow the irrigation scheme - every 7-10 days (2-3 weeks before digging, watering completely stops), apply fertilizing twice a season (superphosphate, potash), weeding and loosening the soil, prevention of diseases and pest infestations. In addition, light mulching using straw will help prevent the growth of weeds.

Since the onion is an unpretentious and cold-resistant plant, it can be planted both in spring and autumn. It is necessary to properly prepare the planting material, competently prepare the garden bed and determine the timing of planting.

To grow a large and tasty onion crop, you need to take good care of it from planting to harvesting. Watering is an important part of outdoor crop care. Thanks to timely watering, the onion will be able to grow normally, form a bulb, and grow greens.

Soil requirements

It is comfortable for a vegetable to grow in light, fertile, breathable, moist and non-acidic soils.

The bow is not as unpretentious as it seems. For good growth, you need fertile soil, quality care and nutritious fertilizers. Without top dressing, the bulbs will grow small, and the greens will not be lush. At different stages, it should be fed with different substances. The vegetable needs organic and mineral feeding. A good result for fertilizing onions is the use of folk remedies.

Required climatic conditions

Despite the good stress resistance, they choose sunny areas for onions, where it is light, warm, and there is a barrier from drafts.

Disease and pest resistance

The culture has a strong immunity, so the plant is rarely exposed to diseases (yellow dwarfism, downy mildew). Attacks of onion flies, thrips and ticks are dangerous for the culture.

Despite the fact that the onion is a very useful plant, capable of repelling and killing many microbes and bacteria, it itself is often damaged and suffers from various misfortunes. Diseases and pests of onions can significantly reduce the yield. It is necessary to correctly determine the presence of this or that disease and take appropriate measures in time.

To get a good harvest, you should not only properly care for it, but also harvest it at a certain time. You can remove the onion from the garden only after it is fully ripe. Collecting bulbs in the middle lane usually begins in August, closer to the middle of the month.
After harvesting the onion, it is important to preserve it as long as possible, without losing quality. For this, the raw materials must be properly prepared. You can store onions in different ways. It is important to observe a certain mode of temperature and humidity in the room.
