Malbec

Malbec

The Malbec onion, characterized by its dark red hue and flattened globe shape, boasts superior storage capabilities typical of its variety. Renowned for its robust top vigour, it exhibits enhanced resilience against Downy Mildew in comparison to counterparts of similar maturity. However, cultivation should be cautious in soils prone to Pink Root problems, as this could compromise its growth and yield potential. Through these distinct attributes, the Malbec onion stands as a promising choice for growers seeking resilient, high-quality onion cultivars.
