Type: Cultivar name

Narrative

Intermediate day onion. NuMex Casper is a mixture of N and S cytoplasm. A few male sterile plants are produced, but the frequency is less than five percent, and not enough to influence seed yield significantly. The presence of S cytoplasm will be an advantage to onion breeders who wish to develop A and B lines from NuMex Casper. Criteria for selection include pink root resistance, bulb depth and shape, bulb firmness, bulb color quality, and intermediate maturity.
