YELLOW ONIONSETS:
| ALPHA | CENTURION F1 | J.P. DE VERTUS |
| SENSHYU YELLOW | SETTON | SHAKESPEARE |
| STURON | STUTTGARTER RIESEN | VSETANA |
| REKSET | T-803 |
ALPHA:
A heat treated onionset which means bolting free! "ALPHA" can be delivered from half January.
The best looking early onion there is.
Highly round onion with a thin neck, so in contrary to other early varieties whom do have a thick neck, ready to be worked early.
Planting early is very important for maximum result. The more to the south the better the crop and date of harvesting.
Price technically "ALPHA" is more interesting than other early types.
Maintainer of this variety is "MAAS"
CENTURION F1: (HYBRID)
Flatround to round onion which is about one week earlier than "STURON" when bred in Holland. More to the north "CENTURION" gets later and more to the south "CENTURION" gets earlier. More to the south also the yield gets better.
"CENTURION" is a strong onion which stores well with a relatively thin neck compared to other competitive varieties.
J.P. DE VERTUS
Stuttgartertype especially produced for the French Market.
RUMBA:
Round to highround onion.
"RUMBA" is latest variety in our assortment and gives an onion of very good quality and high yield.
Other big advantage is that the onion, also not heat-treated, practically gives no bolting problems.
Price/quality seems the best buy you can get.
Maintainer of this variety is "MAAS".
SENSHYU YELLOW:
Overwinter onion which has to be planted in autumn between September 15th and October 15th.
If the climat is mild, it is best to plant as late as possible in October, to avoid bolting problems.
If the climat is severe, it is best to plant earlier.
Growing condition and results looks lot alike "Radar", but S. Yellow produces nicer round bulbs, where Radar produces long-shaped bulbs.
Also the price of S. Yellow is much lower then Radar.
SETTON:
"SETTON" is an improved "STURON".
"SETTON" is rounder, better protected against bolting and gives more yield. "SETTON" is a bit later matured. "SETTON" seems to be an improvement for the present assortment.
"SETTON" is price technically a bit more expensive because of the royalties which need to be paid.
SHAKESPEARE:
Overwinter onion which needs to be planted between September 15th and October 15th.
"SHAKESPEARE" is the strongest winterset. Other advantages are the harder bulbs, better skin and it stores better. Also yield is higher.
"SHAKESPEARE" can only be delivered by "MAAS".
SWIFT:
Overwinter onion which needs to be planted between September 15th and October 15th.
"SWIFT" is the earliest overwinterset which can mean high prices when there is lack of onions.
Negative is the fact that "SWIFT" gives a weaker bulb than "RADAR" which means that quality often is a problem.
STURON:
Flatround to round bulb.
Best known variety in professional market.
"STURON" has strong roots, strong leaves and stores well. "STURON" does well in whole Europe. In the south "STURON" lost a piece of market to "CENTURION" because "CENTURION" has better results here.
STUTTGARTER RIESEN:
Flat onion. Most known onionset in the world because it is relatively cheap and looks very nice as a set because it is round and other yellow types are all long-shaped.
In amateursector people continue buying "STUTTGARTER" because of price and shape of onionset.
However, when "STUTTGARTER" has finished growing the nice round bulb has become a very flat onion. This can lead to demand for other varieties. "STUTTGARTER" is the mother of the onionsets because a lot of other types are developed out of this variety.
A strong point of "STUTTGARTER" is the fact that for the breeding of salad-onions the leaves of "STUTTGARTER" are more suitable. The growing of salad-onions is a growing market because of multicultural influences.
Salad-onions are mainly used in eastern kitchen.
VSETANA:
Sturontype of onion especiallly asked in Czechy and other Eastern Europe countries. Longshaped onionset which grows nicely round and looks a lot in shape and earliness as "STURON".
TAKII VARIETIES: REKSET AND T-803.
ALL HYBRIDS (F1):
REKSET:
The earliest variety in early onions! Earlier than all other varieties, with a thin neck and a nice round bulb and besides that also very productive and resistant to diseases and bolting, also because of heat-treatment during storage. Unfortunately in 2010 no seed available, so no deliverable in 2011, but we hope that we can deliver again from 2012!
T-803 Springsown:
Newest Variety in early onionsets. Like Rekset a variety of Takii, which means very early, productive with a thin neck, which means it can be
delivered very early as table onions.
