2020 Michigan Onion Committee Trial Results

  • Lots of good onion varieties with varying maturities.  Bulb size was influenced by the stand.  
  • Highlander and Outlander have similar early maturity with similar size.  
  • Powell had very good roots on August 20, perhaps related to its disease tolerance.  Less pink root. 
  • Haeckero has some disease tolerance.
  • SVNY showed similarities to Powell and Aldrin with good taller tops. 
  • Aldrin gives good taller growth with its longer maturity.  
  • 37-118,37-120 & 37-121 showed good growth and size.  
  • Scout had more tipburn than the other varieties, but produced good size.  
  • Quintus showed earlier maturity than the listed 112 days.
