Soil composition is also important. Acidity should not exceed 7.8. At elevated levels, slaked lime is added to the soil. This must be done in advance: in the fall during spring sowing and vice versa. Land for planting choose in an open place without shading. The plant does not like wetlands.

Time, rules and dates for planting in the spring

The planting time depends on climatic and weather conditions.

Attention. The temperature of the soil for planting vegetables should not be too low - there will be a lot of arrows. The ground should warm up to ten degrees.

In the spring, they begin planting crops no later than the first decade of May. But many people put small onions in the ground in autumn. In the winter it is better to plant material in late October. Then sevok not soaked so that he did not die from a sharp decrease in temperature. The advantage of this planting is the natural hardening of the seed.

Sow onions better to a depth of two or three centimeters. Bulbs are spaced at a distance of eight centimeters. According to the rules of agrotechnology, an eighty gram of seed is enough for one square meter.

Spring beds are mulched with sawdust to preserve moisture. After the autumn planting before winter it is better to cover the beds with straw or pine needles.

Onions - competent care for plantings

For the care of onions does not take much time and effort. It consists in the following actions:

1. The plant needs moderate watering. On hot days, one hydration per five days will suffice. At moderate temperatures - one watering in ten days. Watering is stopped one month before harvesting the vegetable.
2. Onions grown on poor soils require fertilizing. During the summer, fertilize three times. The first time you reach a green feather height of seven centimeters. The rest of the feeding three weeks later. Diluted poultry manure, mullein in a ratio of 1: 15 is suitable as a fertilizer. Urea and superphosphate are suitable for mineral substances. Twenty to fifteen grams of fertilizer are also diluted in a bucket of water.
3. Tillage of beds is made regularly to a depth of five centimeters.
4. Onions grow poorly when grass is clogged with soil. Weeds are harvested as needed.

Diseases and pests

Onion has become affected by pathogenic fungi in the hot, hot summer. Peronosporosis is determined by the appearance of light spots on the feathers. The disease is transmitted by wind, man, insects. The best drugs against the disease is a one-percent Bordeaux liquid suspension Podikarbatsin. Spray sick plants three times with a break of ten days. The last treatment is carried out twenty days before harvest.

The appearance of round-shaped bloated orange spots on the stems is a symptom of rust disease. It is possible to prevent the development of the pathological process by regular weeding of the beds, with rare plantings of seed sets.

Important! During massive onion growth, it is sprayed with copper oxychloride. Thirty grams of the substance is dissolved in ten liters of water, adding liquid soap. Spray carried out during the day, repeating the procedure after a week.

Fusarium rot of Donets is determined by the rotting of feathers and turnips. Disease prevention consists of tillage before planting with Iprodion. It is necessary not to plant onions in the same place every year and disinfect the seed with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Pests are dangerous for vegetables:

• onion fly;
• wire bugs;
• onion weevil.

Creolin is used to scare away flies.

The successful struggle with wireworm is to carry out proper farming practices.

The weevil, or stealth hunter, is fought, spraying crops in May with insecticides with nicotine sulfate. Rescues pests from raids by thoroughly cleaning the garden from debris after harvesting vegetables.
