Onion Texas Grano

$1.00$69.50

Texas Grano is a medium to late maturing short day brown onion with an intermediate pink root (Pt) resistance. The bulbs are uniform and have a granex shape. The scales are yellow, delicate and smooth. Texas Grano is well suited for early sowings in areas with a mild incidence of pink root. Bulbs produced from transplants are much rounder than direct seeded bulbs. Texas Grano is a very high yielder and the bulbs have a refined neck. Texas Grano is suitable to most soil types.

Outstanding Qualities
Intermediate pink root resistance
Widely adapted
Medium to late maturing

Special varietal requirements
Texas Grano is well suited for production from direct sowing and transplants. Grows longer than normal short day varieties, therefore need to apply follow-up fertiliser later than normal to ensure size and curing. Intermediate pink root resistance, widely adapted, high yield.
