Bow Bonus

Many vegetable growers, choosing the type of onion for planting, prefer to grow exactly hybrid varieties, since they are characterized by ease of care, quick adaptation to climatic characteristics, and abundant productivity. Early maturing onion Bonus of Japanese selection is popular among hybrids.

Bonus onions is a first-generation hybrid developed by Japanese scientists at Takii Seeds in 2008. The vegetable culture was added to the State Register of Admitted Vegetables in 2011. The vegetable is grown mainly in open ground. The hybrid is zoned in the North Caucasian region. This onion species occupies a leading position in cultivation in Eastern and Central Europe.

The bonus is a powerful plant with an erect rosette of feathers. The plant is characterized by vertical feathers of a dark green color, on which a wax coating is barely visible. The height of the greenery is average - up to 30-35 cm. The vegetable culture is characterized by a fibrous root system, as well as a weak formation of arrows during the growing season.

The bulbs ripen as aligned as possible, with attractive commodity data. The hybrid belongs to medium-fruited, although some vegetable growers attribute this species to large-fruited. The average weight of a vegetable is 70-85 grams, but there are larger specimens - 100-110 grams. The diameter of the fruits reaches 6-10 cm. The shape of the bulb is correct - rounded, the neck is of medium thickness. The surface of the bulb is smooth and glossy. The peel, consisting of 3-4 dry scales, has a brown-golden color. Onion pulp is colored white, diluted with greenish layers. The bulbs are quite dense. The structure of the vegetable is small, which includes one or two onions.

The harvested onions are characterized by a universal purpose in cooking - they are added to cold and hot dishes, sauces, marinades, kebabs, used for canning vegetables, and also frozen.

Bonus - early ripening onions. The growing season lasts about 90-95 days. The germination and maturation of vegetables is amicable. Lodging of feathers indicates complete ripening of the bulbs. You can start digging onions in July.

The yield indicators of the hybrid are high if the crop is looked after. On average, 160-230 centners of vegetables can be dug out from 1 hectare of plantings.

The timing of planting a vegetable may vary depending on the climatic characteristics of the region. Due to the fact that the hybrid is frost-resistant, it can be planted in open ground a little earlier than other species. Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in February-March, and the plants are transferred to the ridge in April.Sevok can be planted in open ground during the period when the air temperature is kept at the level of 12-15 degrees - this is the second half of April. In addition, the hybrid assumes planting before winter.

Vegetables are grown through seedlings or seedlings. Seedlings grown onions have a longer shelf life. Before sowing, the seeds are treated with a solution of potassium permanganate and dried. The seeds are immersed in the soil to a depth of 1.5-2 cm, keeping a distance between the rows of 5-7 cm. The containers are covered with glass or film, which will accelerate germination. Plants are transferred to a permanent place after 40-50 days.

When growing with seedlings, it is required to sort the bulbs, selecting the same, without damage, soak the material in a growth stimulator, roll it with wood ash, and then plant it in open ground. The depth of the bulb into the ground should be 2 times its size. Planting is carried out according to the 10x15 cm scheme, and then the ridges are abundantly watered and covered with non-woven material.

Onion care consists of watering every 7-10 days, fertilizing twice a season, weeding row spacings, loosening the soil after watering, preventing diseases.

Onions are grown in light, fluffy, fertile, breathable and slightly acidic soils.

A leveled, sunny and draft-proof area is ideal for a vegetable.

The immunity of the hybrid is strong, so the vegetable is rarely exposed to fungal diseases. Downy mildew is considered the most dangerous disease for a hybrid. In addition, the culture is sometimes attacked by an onion fly.
