How and when is the best time to plant green onion seeds?

Suitable time to plant onion seeds

If you want to plant onion seeds, you can choose to do it in April-May in spring, June-July in summer, and October in autumn, because this period is the most vigorous season for onion growth, and planting is conducive to better growth of seeds.

Green onion seed planting method and key points

1. Land preparation and tillage: Before planting green onions, choose a plot near a water source to facilitate watering. Before planting, deep plowing should be done to a depth of about 30 cm to clean up the weeds and pests. This will make it easier to manage later. After plowing the land, dig trenches with a width of 1-1.5 cm.

2. Planting method: The main ways to sow green onions are row sowing or row planting. The distance between each plant in row planting is 5 cm to 8 cm. Before planting, the soil should be watered thoroughly to keep the soil slightly moist, which can increase its survival rate.

3. Maintenance and management: After planting the green onion seeds, they need to be watered once to keep the soil moist and allow the seeds to absorb sufficient water to encourage them to germinate and take root as soon as possible. After the green onions enter the growth period, they can be watered every 3-5 days to meet the plant's growth needs.

Key points for daily management of green onion seeds

1. Fertilization: The young green onion seedlings consume a lot of nutrients during the growth period. Not only base fertilizer should be applied, but also topdressing should be done in time. During the growth process of green onions, organic fertilizer can be applied to the plants every 15-25 days to provide the green onions with sufficient nutrient absorption.

2. Watering: Scallions prefer a moist growing environment, so they should be watered frequently after planting. However, they cannot tolerate waterlogging. Note that the temperature is high and there is a lot of rain in summer, so drainage must be done in time. There should not be waterlogging in the soil. When weeds are found, they must be removed in time.
