Olivine

Olivine

Very strong seedling vigour makes Olivine suitable for direct sowing or making of seedlings for transplants. Olivine produces very firm, premium quality, globe shaped bulbs with multiple dark brown coloured skins. The bulb and skin qualities make Olivine an ideal option for growers who prefer to machine harvest bulbs. To complement the bulb qualities, Olivine has unmatched storage potential, which enable growers to target storage and export markets. Olivine has excellent yield potential with a high percentage marketable pack-out. In addition, the variety has an upright growth habit with strong tops i.e. strong tolerance against general foliar diseases. Olivine seeds are size graded and treated as standard.
