WHAT TO SOW IN SEPTEMBER
September is an important time for planning autumn and winter production. The gradual decrease in temperatures requires varieties capable of maintaining vigor, uniformity, and quality even under lower-light conditions.
This selection brings together three professional solutions designed to meet the different production needs of the period: Strike Wild Rocket, Clodia White Rounded Onion Musona and XS114 Corn Salad.
WILD ROCKET: STRIKE, PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY IN AUTUMN CYCLES
September is an ideal month for planning Wild Rocket production intended for autumn and winter cycles. Strike is the variety in the Smarties.bio range developed to maintain high performance even at lower temperatures.
It stands out for its rapid growth, high vigor, and a thick, heavy leaf, which allows for excellent yields.
Its high degree of serration from the very first cut makes it particularly interesting for professional production intended for the fresh market and the IV gamma sector.
Strike is also available in a 32-seed multi-seed pill format, a solution that makes it possible to improve sowing precision and harvest management.
ONION: CLODIA, UNIFORMITY AND QUALITY
For sowings in late August and early September, Clodia White Rounded Onion Musona represents a reliable solution for the production of short-day white onions.
The variety is characterized by rounded bulbs, high productivity, and excellent adaptability to different growing environments. Thanks to its extremely early cycle, it is particularly suitable for spring harvests.
Clodia is also suitable for the production of spring onions and stands out for its mild, not very pungent flavor, ideal for raw consumption and for numerous traditional Venetian preparations, such as "Saore", Fegato alla Veneziana and Bigoli in Salsa.
CORN SALAD: XS114, THE CHOICE FOR COLD CYCLES
With the arrival of autumn, XS114 Corn Salad is an ideal choice for planning reliable production during the colder months.
A medium-late winter variety, it stands out for its excellent adaptability to low temperatures and its high productivity. Its upright rosette habit features dark, rounded, very turgid and crisp leaves, with a high specific plant weight.
The retention of the cotyledons is also particularly interesting: they are small and dark green in color and maintain their characteristics even after harvest. A professional solution for production intended for both the fresh market and the IV gamma sector.
