Agrotechnics.
Onions prefer fertile, light loams or loamy chernozems with a neutral reaction (does not tolerate acidic soils).
The best predecessors: cucumber, cabbage, tomato, potato, legumes.
When growing onion sets, seeds are sown in autumn or early spring (as soon as the soil allows) on ridges across which grooves are made (every 10-15 cm). Seeds are sown after 1-1.5 cm, to a depth of 1.5-2.0 cm.
When growing, the row spacing should be 20-30 cm. After sowing, the soil is slightly compacted.
During autumn sowing, the rows are mulched with humus and peat. Seeds are removed as soon as the leaves begin to turn yellow and lie down.
When growing onion from seeds are sown in early spring with a row spacing of 20-30 cm, sowing depth of 1.5-2.0 cm.
In the phase of 2-3 true leaves, the crops are thinned out at a distance of 3-4 cm between plants. If necessary, make top dressing.
