Bow-sekok. Cultivation from seed, planting and care

Onion onion is a small bulb grown from seeds for one spring-summer season. Its seeds are very small, with low germination, sprout for a long time, about three weeks. To improve this indicator before sowing, they must be soaked in water, and preferably in a growth stimulant, for 8-12 hours. Swollen seeds can be dried to flowability or immediately planted on a pre-prepared fertilized bed. Further care for crops is a careful watering of the shoots, the removal of weeds.

Harvest of onion-seedling is removed when lodging leaves. This occurs around the beginning of August. From 1 square meter of sown area with good care receive about 2 kg of seedling. Bow-seedling must necessarily dry well, remove dried leaves and roots, sort by the size of the bulbs.

Bulbs that do not grow up to 1 cm in diameter until spring, as a rule, can not be maintained. It is preferable to plant a shallow onion for winter. The planting of sowing in late autumn has a number of advantages: it is possible to get a bow on the pen earlier, there is no loss of part of the crop due to drying, time for planting onions in spring is not wasted, it is not damaged by the onion fly (by the beginning of the summer the onion fly has already formed a large lobe of roots, Therefore, the bottom is not available for laying eggs).

Under winter, onion-sowing is planted so that the bulb before frost has managed to take root well, but not to germinate. Specific dates of planting indicate difficult, it all depends on the region. Onions, planted under the winter, as a rule, do not shoot, from it with good care grow large, time to ripen, bulbs.

Place under the sevok choose an unsinkable, well lit by the sun. When digging, you need to make half a bucket of compost and 1 tbsp for each square meter. Ash. Fold the grout after digging a little, make shallow grooves (about 4 cm), between grooves about 12 cm distance. Dehydrated seedling should be placed in grooves with a distance of 4 cm between the bulbs. Sowok filled with loose soil or humus (or a mixture thereof). It is desirable to cover crops with leaves or peat crumb.

If you want to get both heads and a bow on a feather from one seedbed, then you should make a seeding of the seedling, you need to lay out the seedling through 2 cm. In the spring, you need to tear through one, the remaining bulbs of the feeding area will be enough.

If you are going to plant onion in spring, then before it should be warmed in a room with a temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius for 20 days. Otherwise there will be an arming.
