In terms of occupied areas, onion is on the third place in the world among vegetable crops, second only to tomato and watermelon. In Russia, onion is grown on an area of 88 to 96 thousand hectares of onions, and ranks third, yielding to cabbage and tomato. The increase in the production of onions is not only due to the increase in the areas occupied by the crop, but also due to increased yields. This is achieved by introducing new highly productive varieties and hybrids into production, increasing the overall cropping culture and the level of cultivation technology. Along with the creation of heterotic hybrids at the present time, the Russian Federation also continues to select varieties that show high rates when grown in a one-year crop. The results of production tests of a new onion variety of Forward Selected Breeding VNIIO - a branch of the FGBNU FNCO has shown that it is promising because it has a high yield potential, high quality of bulbs and excellent preservation in conditions of repositories with controlled conditions...
