Profile

Rockito is a main season onion giving round to high round firm bulbs with good skin retention for long term storage. Rockito is consistent of its storage performance as well as the improved yield potential compared to the main varieties of our current portfolio. Rockito belongs to the same generation as SV3557ND and represents a clear improvement on several traits, such as storage ability resulting from the combination of very strong firmness; the ability to develop strong skin and very good sprouting tolerance. The yield potential is high thanks especially to a higher density per onion and the early plant vigour giving the possibility to grow the variety in more stressful conditions.
