Phenotypic and quality characteristics of a new onion cultivar.
In this paper, the Federal Institute for Agriculture in Sarajevo introduces a new onion variety-Konjica’s onion, specially developed for production from onion sets to suit the environmental conditions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper evaluates the variety’s agronomic performances and its characteristics of quality in two locations over three-years period. The new variety is characterised by yellow-brown flattened bulbs with high dry matter (12.2 to 14.5%) and high glucose and sucrose content and mildly pungent flavour. Expansion of domestic varieties of very good quality such as Konjica’s onion should increase domestic onion production and reduce its import from abroad.
