Planting time and method of shallots and planting techniques and key points

Onion planting time

Shallots can be planted between July and September, but it is best to plant them in August each year because the climate at that time is the most suitable, with suitable temperature and light environment. The survival rate is relatively high after planting, and the seedlings will grow faster.

How to grow shallots

1. Land preparation and fertilization: Shallots are generally planted in sandy loam with sufficient sunlight, deep and fertile soil. Before planting, sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied. You can use decomposed farmyard manure, and then the land needs to be leveled.

2. Seed selection and sowing: The shallots used should be undamaged and in good shape, so that nutrients can be guaranteed after sowing. When sowing, the shallow planting method can be adopted.

3. Management during the seedling stage: After sowing, shallots need to be watered in time to make the bed surface completely wet. When the seedlings grow to 10 cm, a small amount of water and fertilizer needs to be applied to promote root growth.

Tips for planting shallots

You need to pay attention to the growth of shallots. You need to weed and clean up the dead leaves regularly, and control the water and fertilizer to avoid diseases and pests. When diseases and pests are found, you must use drugs to treat them in time.
