Narrative
A white, late short day onion. Has a moderately high bolting resistance, and is highly resistant to pink root disease. Bulbs are firm to hard with excellent color. Bulb shape is deep and variable from typical grano to globe, some are elongated globes. Yield potential and bulb size are equal to or greater than other short day white varieties. NM899 is a broad-based genetic resource of value to onion breeders for development of open pollinated varieties, and inbreds for hybrid varieties, that combine excellent color quality, PRR, and bolting resistance.
