Tips on how to plant onions and when to plant

Suitable time for planting onions

Scallions are suitable for sowing in autumn every year. At this time, the temperature and humidity are most conducive to the growth of scallions. After planting, it is also necessary to provide it with sufficient water to ensure the normal development of the plant. It is also necessary to fertilize it every ten days to provide it with the necessary nutrients to make it grow faster and have a higher yield.

Onion planting methods and key points

1. Seed treatment

There are some differences between shallots and scallions. Scallions are more heat-resistant, so the seeds must be processed according to the steps to improve the survival rate. Don't be lazy. Simple disinfection can help the shallots to enter the growth stage on time.

2. Site selection and land preparation

When planting onions, you should choose sandy loam with deep, fertile soil and good water-locking ability. You should turn the soil over and plow it deeply in advance, probably to a place about 25 cm from the ground. Onions cannot grow without fertilizer, so you can also add some base fertilizer to the soil.

Key points for onion management

1. Temperature requirements

Scallions are relatively cold-resistant and can grow in relatively cold places, so low temperatures will not have much impact on their growth, but suitable temperature conditions will better improve yield and quality.

2. Humidity requirements

Scallions have relatively few roots, and their ability to absorb water and nutrients is very poor, and they cannot penetrate deep into the soil. However, they like water very much, so people who grow them need to increase the frequency of watering according to soil conditions.
