How to get the most bountiful onion harvest

UAportal has prepared easy tips for achieving a good onion harvest. Growing this crop requires attention to every detail.

Variety

If you plan to harvest a large crop, it is important to choose the right onion varieties. It is recommended to choose different types based on the size of the head, taste, and suitability for the specific growing conditions in your region. Careful analysis and selection of the right varieties can guarantee a bountiful onion harvest.

Sunlight and soil

For a good harvest, it is important to provide onions with enough sunlight and well-drained soil. It is very important that the location chosen for planting receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

The soil should be rich in organic matter that supports healthy onion growth. The correct pH level is also important for the successful growth of onions, with an ideal value of around 6.0-7.5.

Right planting technique

Onions should be planted about 1 centimeter deep in the soil and 4-6 centimeters apart. Ensuring sufficient space between the plants guarantees healthy head development. In addition, the same planting depth for all bulbs promotes uniform growth.
