Planting Material Pretreatment
Immediately after purchasing the material, the seeds of the Bamberger variety must be thoroughly dried. For this purpose, bulbs should be scattered in a row in a warm, ventilated room. Agronomists do not recommend placing planting material very close to heating appliances.
Those who have sevoc, self-grown from seeds, should know that it should also be processed before planting. This work is best done in stages. First you need to warm the seeds. This is necessary so that the material does not go in the arrows. And in order to start the cultivation process, you need to warm up the seed before planting. You can warm up in the spring sun. As soon as the earth warms up, and the ambient temperature rises to twelve degrees, you can begin to plant onion sets .
Tips agronomists
Five to six hours before the start of work, experts recommend wetting the planting material in manganese solution or vitriol, and if they are not at hand, simply in ordinary salt water. This is required for the destruction of various pathogens by the microorganism, which "doze" under the skin of onion sets . Another recommendation of experienced gardeners, which will be useful for beginners, for the first time planting a variety of Bamberger onion in their plots : it is necessary to harden planting material. Experts are sure that the Barberger variety gives the best harvest when it was planted in the winter. As a rule, this should be done two to three weeks before the cold weather. In this case, the planting material will have time to take root before the frost, while the arrows still do not go. Over the winter, onions Bamberger will gain good immunity and absorb enough moisture to give a juicy, rich harvest in the summer. In the absence of time in order to fully warm up the planting material, you can immediately immerse the seeds in the not very hot water for 15-20 minutes immediately before placing them in the soil .
To accelerate the time of germination, it can be treated with drugs that stimulate the cultivation. These include Gumisol or Rost-1.
Soil preparation
G runt also needs to be prepared. Before planting it must be dug up and, of course, fertilizer laid. Along the way, you must always remove all remaining weeds and stones. Planting material should be buried at a depth of three to four centimeters. The optimal distance between the bulbs is ten, and between the rows - about twenty cm. In this case, the sowing will develop freely, and the gardener will get a good harvest.
Growing Features
Onion Barberger , like other representatives of this family, belongs to cultures that love heat, the sun. Therefore, it is better to plant it on a site sufficiently lit and protected from the winds. Of great importance for productivity is the type of soil. Breeders say that Bamberger onion grows best on sandy loamy fertile lands.
Grade Care
To get a tasty rich harvest, any planted garden crop must be properly looked after. Loosening, according to experts, is one of the most important procedures that must be carried out before the germination of planted planting material begins. This gardener will prevent the unwanted formation of a peel. In addition, it is precisely the loosening that provides sufficient access of oxygen to the sprouting bulbs. Subsequently, digging is required approximately once every thirty days. Simultaneously with loosening, weed removal must also be carried out.
Watering and fertilizer
The onion variety Bamberger , like other plants, needs regular top dressing. Fertilizer should be applied for the first time two weeks after planting the seed. For this, the use of slurry or chicken droppings is recommended . For one square meter, you will need to make about ten liters of fertilizing. The next time fertilizers should be given to the crop after about twenty days. At this time, you already need to make minerals that contain a large amount of nitrogen. After about the same time, potassium fertilizer will be required.
Bamberger should be watered throughout its growing season. Frequency will depend on weather conditions. In spring or at the beginning of the summer season, onions should be watered every three to four days. But starting in July, the amount of moisture needs to be reduced. During the ripening period of onions, excess water slows the growth of fruits. And two or three weeks before harvesting, watering should be stopped altogether.
Spraying
To protect the culture from various diseases, experts recommend that certain preventive measures be taken. And first of all we are talking about spraying. For this purpose, gardeners most often use copper chloride or copper sulfate. The first spraying of the leaves of the culture is carried out when it reaches a length of 15-20 centimeters, and the second - during the active growth of the fruits.
