To get a good harvest of onions, it is enough to choose a non-capricious and productive species for planting. Hybrids of Japanese selection are very popular among vegetable growers and farmers. A striking representative of this category is the medium early onion Eation.
Breeding history
The Eation Onion is a first generation hybrid bred by Japanese breeders from Sakata Vegetables Europe S. A. S. in 2008. The vegetable has been listed in the State Register of approved for use on the territory of the Russian Federation since 2011. The most productive vegetable crop is grown in the Lower Volga and North Caucasian regions.
Description of the variety
This onion variety is a compact plant with a semi-spreading rosette. Juicy, powerful feathers have a uniform bright green color, light waxy bloom, moderate thickening and an average height reaching 30-40 cm. During the growing season, arrows are practically not formed. A characteristic feature of the plant is its powerful root system. The juiciness and aroma of feathers allows them to be eaten fresh, as well as added to salads.
Characteristics of the appearance of plants and bulbs
Onions grow mature even and beautifully, which attracts vegetable growers and farmers who grow the vegetable commercially. The hybrid represents the category of large-fruited varieties.
The average weight of a vegetable reaches 70-100 grams. The shape of the bulbs is correct - rounded, with a slightly elongated neck. The surface of the root crops is smooth, shiny, dense, consisting of dry scales of a brown-golden color, tightly attached to the base. Onion pulp is snow-white, high density. In terms of structure, the bulbs belong to the small-breeding species, consisting of one bulb.
The dug vegetables do not deform during transportation, and also have an average keeping quality - about 4 months. A cool and ventilated area is required for storage.
Purpose and taste
Onion Evolution is characterized not only by its attractive appearance, but also by its excellent taste, which persists even after heat treatment. The snow-white pulp has a dense, fleshy, crunchy and juicy texture. The taste has medium pungency, sweet and savory notes, as well as a slight pungency. The vegetable has a pronounced aroma - classic, present in many onion varieties.
The harvested onion is widely used in cooking - it is added to cold and hot dishes, salads, during the preparation of sauces, pickled, canned with vegetables, and the hybrid is ideally combined with fish and meat.
Maturation
The Aviation hybrid is a representative of the mid-early species. From the moment of mass appearance of sprouts to complete ripening of specimens in the beds, 110-115 days pass. The maturity of the bulbs is indicated by the complete lodging and drying of the feathers. You can start digging vegetables from the end of July and continue for 3-4 weeks.
Yield
The Japanese hybrid is famous for its good productivity. On average, 1 hectare of planting allows you to dig up 165-206 centners of vegetables.
Planting dates with seeds, seedlings and seedlings
Sowing seeds for seedlings begins in mid-March, and from the end of April, the plants are transferred to a permanent place of growth. Planting with sowing is carried out at a time when the air and soil are already sufficiently warmed up. Typically, this is the period from late April to mid-May.
Growing and caring
The vegetable is cultivated by seed, seedling method, as well as sevk. Before sowing, the seeds must be checked for suitability, and then sown into a prepared substrate, where grooves with a depth of 1-1.5 cm are made in advance. The distance between rows should be 18-25 cm. The greenhouse effect (glass, film) will help accelerate germination. Strong and healthy specimens are suitable for seedlings.
If you plant with sevka, then you need to prepare bulbs of the same size without damage. They are planted in grooves with a depth of 1.5-2 cm.The planting is recommended to be carried out according to the 10x20 cm scheme.
The vegetable crop does not require special care - it is enough to water the plantings with warm water every 7-10 days, feed 2-3 times per season (nitrogen-phosphorus, potassium sulfate and calcium complexes), loosen after watering, weed the aisles, prevent viruses and pest infestations ...
Soil requirement
Onions should be planted on light, fertile, well-drained soils with neutral or low acidity. The vegetable grows well on loamy and sandy loamy nutrient soils.
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.
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
Onion Eation is a thermophilic culture, so planting is planned in sunny, warm and bright areas, where there is protection from the cold wind. Some vegetable growers note that the culture is capable of growing in partial shade conditions.
Disease and pest resistance
The vegetable has an average immunity, providing tolerance to downy mildew, fusarium, as well as absolute resistance to pink rot. The attacks of onion flies are dangerous for the plant.
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.
