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.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Qualities<\/strong>
\nIntermediate pink root resistance
\nWidely adapted
\nMedium to late maturing<\/p>\n

Special varietal requirements<\/strong>
\nTexas 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_cat":[48,26,18],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-328","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-onions-opv-s","7":"product_cat-opv-s","8":"product_cat-seed","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
