NuMex BOLO Plant January 1 to February 15 Matures July 5 Matures July 20 from transplants High yield potential Firm, tough bulbs Variable bulb shape

Developed from crosses between several intermediate and long day varieties. Released in 1994. NuMex BOLO is an intermediate variety for spring seeding or transplanting. When transplanted, it matures in late June. It is firm and somewhat variable in shape, but predominantly a medium depth globe. When spring-seeded, NuMex BOLO usually produces high yields. However, because of its early maturity, when grown under less than optimum management, bulb size and yield can be less than desired. It is highly recommended for high density plantings from seeds to produce high yields of small to medium sized bulbs. From transplants, NuMex BOLO can consistently produce large bulbs. NuMex BOLO has excellent tolerance to pink root.
