📦 Original Description and Seed Specifications

🌱 Seed Starting and Transplanting

Sow thinly in a clean, fine nursery medium during the locally suitable onion season and transplant sturdy rooted seedlings carefully. Follow the packet’s specific sowing depth and spacing. Keep seed mix moist but not saturated during emergence and protect young shoots from harsh rainfall.

☀️ Site, Soil and Plant Spacing

Provide sun, free-draining fertile soil with well-rotted compost and enough spacing for onion bulb growth; keep weeds suppressed. Use containers only if they have sufficient root room and drainage.

💧 Watering and Feeding

Maintain steady moisture during early growth and bulb enlargement. Reduce irrigation near harvest of storage bulbs and avoid excess nitrogen. Water at soil level and avoid prolonged soil saturation.

🌼 Flowering and Crop Development

Keep plants healthy through bulb formation; excessive heat, cold or stress can encourage bolting.

🐛 Pests and Disease Prevention

Inspect for thrips, leaf miner marks, fungal rust/downy mildew and basal rot. Rotate allium crops and prevent stagnant water. Scout weekly, remove diseased material and use only locally registered crop treatments according to labels and pre-harvest intervals.

🧺 Harvesting

For green use, harvest young leaves or stalks; for dry bulb onions, allow bulbs to mature and tops to dry as appropriate, then cure in airy shade if storage is intended. Growth and readiness vary with climate and seed batch.

❓ FAQs

Can it grow in pots? Only with adequate root space, drainage, light and any required supports.
Why yellow leaves? Check root moisture, nutrient deficiency and insect infestation.
Why delayed harvest? Sowing season, sunlight and plant stress affect maturity.
