Special Varietal Requirements

• SV7030NS has a vigorous root system – Nitrogen-based fertilisers late in the growing season should be strictly managed
• Red onions need to be cured properly in order to develop the distinctive red internal colour – all red onion varieties have a white flesh colour when recently harvested or when used as fresh green (not cured) onions
