🌱 Germination & Sowing

Sow onion seed into a fine well-drained nursery bed or start directly in a prepared plot as directed on the packet. Use original packet depth, spacing and temperature guidance. Keep soil evenly moist but never saturated while seeds establish.

☀️ Light, Soil & Plant Spacing

Provide bright sun, fertile draining soil and weed-free rows with even moisture as bulbs or stalks develop. Work fully decomposed compost into soil where appropriate and provide draining containers if growing in pots.

💧 Irrigation & Fertiliser

Water established plants at soil level when upper soil starts to dry. Maintain steady moisture during root growth, leaves or flowering, and avoid cycles of waterlogging and severe drying. Feed moderately using a crop-appropriate fertiliser strictly at its label rate if needed.

🌼 Plant Development

Keep beds open and airy, inspect new leaves weekly and avoid damaging shallow roots.

🐛 Pests & Diseases

Monitor thrips, onion maggot, leaf miners, rust and bulb rot; maintain airy spacing and avoid soggy ground. Improve hygiene, airflow and crop rotation; use approved crop treatments only when needed, following the legal label and pre-harvest intervals.

🧺 Harvest

Lift mature bulbs or harvest green onion leaves at the stage indicated on the packet; cure storage bulbs in an airy shade where relevant. Actual maturity depends on variety, season and care. Wash harvested produce before use.
