Abstract: Several multi-locational varietal trials were carried out by CARDI in St Kitts and Nevis for the period 1992 to 1994. Because of these trials, the variety Texas Grano was replaced with new short-day cultivars. The new varieties, H7, H9, H60, H202 and PSX 2789, have been successfully introduced into the onion production systems and in 1995 accounted for over 95% of commercial production.
