Onion Planting Time and Method

Onion Planting Time

Onions are generally planted in early September. They prefer a warm environment and are not resistant to high temperatures. Therefore, based on their growth habits, planting them at this time is conducive to their germination and growth. If they are planted too early, they are more likely to sprout after wintering.

Onion Planting Methods

1. Land preparation and fertilization: Before planting onions, the selected soil needs to be deep-turned and sufficient well-rotted farmyard manure needs to be applied. The depth of deep turning needs to be more than 20 cm, and then the soil needs to be leveled and raked.

2. Planting method: When planting onions, the soil needs to be kept moist. Then the seeds can be evenly spread in the soil and covered with a layer of soil. They will germinate after a period of time.

3. Maintenance and management: Onions need to be well maintained after planting, especially after germination, as they are more prone to diseases and pests, so you need to pay attention to prevention and control, and you can spray some pesticides.

Onion Planting Tips

After onions sprout, they need to grow for a period of time. In October, their growth is relatively stable, and at this time they need to be transplanted. When transplanting, the row spacing is 20 cm and the plant spacing is 16 cm. After transplanting, they need to be watered thoroughly.
