This culture is known to all gardeners, which grows in the open field.
- Onions grow poorly in clay soil with an acidic environment. Onions make rather high demands on soil fertility. The addition of sand and peat during digging significantly loosens the soil, which easily allows oxygen and water to pass through. The culture will grow well on light loamy and sandy loamy soils of weak acidity, fertilized with organic matter. The acidity is reduced by adding dolomite flour to the soil.
- Fertility of the land will increase due to siderates or mulch, which also need to be mixed with the earth.
- The best predecessors for onions are cucumbers and tomatoes.
- Before planting onions before winter it must be kept at a temperature of +5 degrees for two weeks. To combat the formation of arrows in the summer, in the spring, the seeds, on the contrary, are warmed up.
- Before spring planting it is better not only to soak, but also to germinate the seed.
- For cultivation, it is better to use a set with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 cm, which gives large bulbs during growth.
- Planting onions early promotes the development of more powerful roots.
- Not worth bringing a lot of nitrogen fertilizers that contribute to the growth of green mass, but retard the growth of the bulb itself.
- In the spring, when leaves appear over the entire area of the garden, it is recommended to feed the culture with a solution of urea, stirring 2 tbsp. dry granules in a bucket of water.
- The next feeding should be carried out with superphosphate (diluted 15 g in a bucket of water) 2 weeks after the first, and the third during the formation of the head. Doses of potash and phosphorus fertilizers are increased by 1.5 in comparison with early feeding.
- Mineral fertilizers can be replaced with organics using bird droppings. It is diluted in water in a ratio of 1:14. In general, I have been purchasing all the seeds, fertilizers and stimulants for the 5th year Here, at a nice low price and with very fast delivery by mail, may come in handy for you.
- When feeding with organic matter solutions must be applied at the root so as not to affect the upper green part of the plant.
- Great importance to increase yields bow has a timely removal of arrows. Delay in this procedure can lead to crop loss.
- During the period of leaf growth and bulb formation the plant needs a lot of moisture. In the ripening period of the bulb, on the contrary, excess moisture can delay the wilting of the leaves and thereby increase the ripening period.
- Growing onion several months, it begins to ripen only after the leaves are dry.
