Sarpanch Gulabi Brand Onion Seeds – High-Yield Pink Onion Variety

Product Description
Sarpanch Gulabi Brand Onion Seeds are known for producing attractive pink-red, round bulbs that offer excellent market appeal and strong storage ability. This variety performs exceptionally well in Rangda, Rabi, and Late Rabi seasons, making it a reliable choice for farmers across different climates.

After harvest, the bulbs develop a bright, appealing pink-red color. The bulbs are round, uniform, and have very low double or split bulbs, ensuring maximum market-grade output. The neck of the bulb is thin to medium in thickness and dries evenly during the Rabi season, allowing for a smooth, single-stage harvest.

The crop matures in about 130 days after transplanting, and once fully dried, the onions turn a rich saffron-pink shade. This variety is tolerant to thrips/smoth moth, contributing to healthier crops and reduced losses. Under proper cultivation practices, farmers can achieve a yield of 42–45 tons per hectare.
