Ayoba

Outstanding Qualities

• Vigorous plants
• Widely adapted – flexible sowing period
• Superior bulb qualities
• Firm bulbs with multiple tough tunics for excellent storability

Ayoba is an early intermediate day brown onion. Ayoba produces very uniform, globe-shaped bulbs with small basal plates and medium-sized necks. Ayoba’s high quality bulbs are firm and each bulb has multiple tough tunics which results in excellent skin retention, contributing to exceptional storage ability. The tunics are also characterised by a beautiful tan to golden brown colour. The storage potential along with tough and attractive tunics are advantageous for later marketing of the bulbs. Ayoba has a vigorous growth habit, well-developed root system and high resistance to Fusarium basal plate rot (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae), which altogether contributes to wide adaptability in the field. Ayoba is suitable for direct seeding as well as seedling transplants.
