Planting and caring for onion sets

Onions are a common and valuable vegetable. The plant is biennial and three year old. In the first year, small onion sets are obtained from the seeds. Before planting it must be slightly soaked so that sprouts appear. In the second year, large bulbs grow from the set, which are eaten, and in the third year the plant produces seeds.

In this way, penile and sharp plant varieties are grown. It provides high productivity. Sevc is obtained from seeds that are planted on prepared soil. First you need to pickle them, and then wet them well. Planting onion sets is done in a broadband way. The width of one strip is 10 cm. Seeds are thrown to the bottom of the furrow, which is first watered. Then they are sprinkled with soil by 2-3 cm. From above, everything is mulched with a centimeter layer of humus so that moisture is retained in the soil and the onion set grows well. Planting and caring for this plant is not difficult. The plant needs watering during drought, weeding and breaking of the earth crust (if necessary).

Planting onion sets with seeds is only half the battle. When the shoots of the plant begin to droop, you can start harvesting. To do this, dig up the plants and choose the bulbs from the soil. Then the leaves and roots are trimmed. Next, the sowing is laid out on special platforms for drying, and then sorted into groups. Onions are stored in boxes in a dry ventilated place - the layer should not exceed 20 cm. To avoid damage by various diseases and pests, the bulbs must be warmed up for 10 hours at a temperature of +40 º. Planting onion sets to produce vegetables suitable for eating is carried out the next year. This method provides good yield.

This method is the most popular among gardeners. The sevka is soaked for 3 days in ordinary water, and then for 16 hours in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. On carefully prepared soil it is planted at a distance of 8-10 cm. Between the rows should be at least 15 cm. All care consists in weeding, loosening and watering. When the shoots begin to go to bed, watering stops. Harvest the onions in dry weather, after lodging and yellowing the feather. The fruits are pulled out of the ground, the roots and dry tops are removed, leaving the neck about 5 cm. The onions are laid out on the platform in one layer and left to dry for 4-5 days. After that, it is removed. Store onions in a dry room in baskets or drawers, in a dry ventilated place. You can weave braids from bulbs and hang them somewhere.
