How to Choose a Onion Variety

Red onion stores longer, while yellow onion yields more. Pick a variety that bulbs in the short days of the Philippine dry season, and plant it after the rains so the bulbs dry well.

Days to harvest

Days from transplanting to harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.

Pests and Diseases of Onion

The problems that hit onion fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.

Questions About Onion Varieties

Which onion variety is the best?
The best one is the variety bred for your area, your season and your buyer. Start with the filters above, then ask your municipal agriculturist which ones have done well in your town, and test a new one on a small area first.
Should I plant a hybrid onion?
A hybrid often yields more, but you must buy new seed every season, and it pays back only with good water and fertilizer. Open pollinated varieties cost less, and you can save their seed.
What does it mean when a variety is registered?
It passed official trials in several places before it was approved for sale. A variety that is not registered can still be good, but its numbers come only from its seller.
Where do these numbers come from?
From each registered variety's own trials, and for unregistered varieties from their sellers and farm sources, each one named on the variety page. The words on our pages are our own.

For the varieties not registered, their sellers and farm sources are named on each variety page. The words and pictures are anee.io's own.
