Onion Capricorn

Capricorn is a mid-maturing, intermediate day, brown onion variety with a distinctive sowing period. The latter characteristic makes Capricorn highly sought after as it enables producers to penetrate a unique onion marketing period with high quality bulbs. Capricorn’s bulbs are uniform, firm and globe shaped with an attractive brown skin. In addition, Capricorn has a good storage potential, enabling producers to market the bulbs over an extended period. Capricorn has a vigorous root system with intermediate resistance against Pink root/Pt (Phoma terrestris syn. Pyrenochaeta terrestris).
