ONION ALBIENKA

This medium-early cultivar reaches maturity approximately 125 days from sowing, producing distinctive flat-round bulbs with pale outer layers. Individual bulbs typically weigh around 105 grams and deliver a characteristically mild flavor profile. The variety demonstrates versatility in culinary applications, performing well as a fresh market product while maintaining adequate storage longevity for short-term preservation. Dual-purpose cultivation is feasible, allowing growers to harvest either mature bulbs or immature spring onions, with the latter option particularly suited for pickling operations. Optimal establishment occurs through direct field sowing in late April through early May. Soil preferences favor well-draining sandy loam compositions enriched with organic matter, though the variety adapts reasonably to lighter, drier sandy loam substrates with adequate humus content..
