Late planting onions further action. Planting spring onions on a turnip. Spring care for onions

Sofia GusevaLuk

Each owner of his site is landing onions  in the spring. It is the most popular and healthy vegetable  on our table. It usually takes two years to get a good bulb. In the first year, we grow onions from Chernushka (seeds), which is stored in the winter at home.

In the spring, these small onions are planted into the ground again to produce onion turnips in the late summer.

How to prepare onion sets for planting

Before planting home and purchased onion sevok it is necessary to warm up well for quite a long time. This onion is called baked.

It is necessary that the onions during planting do not go to the arrow. The temperature in your house is not constant, if you heat the stove, so the onions are heated to warm up. For example, on the closet. Now is the time to do it.

Pour into a cardboard box with a thin layer of sevka and let it stand before planting. Residents of city apartments should later put a bow to the battery. When the heating is not too strong. In order not to weld sevok, but only pomorno. Month will be enough. Before sowing bulbs need to sort in size:

• The smallest up to 1 cm in diameter can be planted early, they will not be able to form an arrow. Later they plant best onion set  from 1 to 2 cm in size. A dog larger than 2 cm is called a sample and is usually planted to produce greenery on a feather. Because such large bulbs mostly produce an arrow and a good onion head will not work out of them.

It is better to plant a small onion before winter, because during the winter it usually dries out completely. When sorting onions, they are very dry, but with a center of onions. Usually they are thrown away. If you have a little planting material, then these onions can also be planted.

First, soak for two days in water, with the addition of a glass of ash or with bio-fertilizer. Let them pick up moisture, then plant on the garden bed, as usual sevok.

Although medium-sized bulbs, they will grow. To protect the onion of a turnip from diseases, before planting, you can hold the seedlings in pink manganese for 24 hours. Then dry. Here is the onion set ready for planting. All onions are about the same, about 2 cm in diameter

Terms of planting turnip in the spring

Planting time is different in the regions, depending on your weather. Onions can not be planted in cold soil, so as not to go into the arrow. But it is also impossible to be late, in dry land, without watering the onions will be hard to take root.

In the Urals, usually in early May, sevok is planted. It is desirable for the soil to warm up to + 12C. If you are guided by the hints of nature, then the timing of planting onions is determined by the flowering of bird cherry and crocuses.

Planting sevka and care in the spring

The land needs a loose, fertile, but you can not make manure for planting onion turnips. Place choose sunny, can be a small penumbra. But in the shadows should not be planted. The feather will stretch and early on, and the bulb will not form.

The best predecessors for planting onions are cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, legumes. Onion beds are good to do next to carrots, so that they protect each other from pests. Or sow them together on the same bed.

But to make rows less often (with a distance of 15-20 cm) so that the carrot tops do not drown the onions. Joint planting interferes with onion and carrot flies found in this bouquet, what is edible and what is not. Small onions are planted, moving 5 cm apart, and the average - 10 cm.

Sevok planted Donets down, buried in the ground to the height of the onions. These couple of centimeters from above fall asleep with humus. Onions quickly release green feathers, usually in a week. Onions grow quickly, after 20 days it needs to be fed.

You can pour a solution of mullein or infusion of nettle. When the bulb is gaining weight, the tip should be above the ground. It is necessary when loosening a little rake the earth from the bulbs. When joint planting with carrots, this land is just useful for hilling carrots.

In order not to turn green in the sun. At the beginning of growth (May-June) the beds are watered 1-2 times a week if there is no rain. In July, the onions begin to ripen and less water is needed. Two weeks before harvesting, they stop watering completely so that the onion heads are then well kept. The bulbs should be above the ground for better maturation

Planting onion turnips from seeds

A good onion can be grown in one season, if you sow it with seeds. This method is especially well suited for the southern regions. But even in the Urals, it is possible to grow the turnip onion harvest in one year. For this, seeds are sown into prepared beds, as early as possible in April.

As soon as the soil permits, it is better to prepare the beds in the fall or sow the chernushka before winter. Seeds need to sow infrequently, and then thin out the seedlings, leaving a distance of 5 cm between the onions. So that they grow larger. For a guaranteed harvest they grow onion seedlings.

Seeds need to be sown in late March, early April in the greenhouse or at home in boxes. Onion seedlings are planted in May on the beds, well watered, for growth. I told you the theory, and you decide whether to sow onion seedlings on seedlings or not. I myself do not do that.

Very troublesome, and there is no place on the windows also for bows. Let the harvest be stretched for two years, but apparently it is a habit already. Sow chernushka for sevka, not large bulbs.

Although there are varieties of onions that need to be grown only for one season, on next year  they release the arrow. For example - "Karatal".

I think that you can write a couple of articles about planting a turnip onion in the spring. So the new articles will still be about onions, so as not to miss, subscribe to blog updates. I wish everyone great onion tears of joy! Shallot onions with an interesting story and a bunch of onions

Planting onions

The principles of planting onions "for food" and for decorative purposes are the same. The main rule: do not plant onions after related crops, so that the bulbs do not rot and there are no other diseases. But tomatoes, cabbage, peas and beans - beautiful predecessors.

Choose a bright, warm place for planting so that the sun warms up the soil. For decorative bows, it is also an important condition for beautiful coloring. And for onions, light and heat are juicy onions and bright greens.

In addition, loose, heated soil reduces the risk of rot. Onions like fertile soil, well seasoned with organic and mineral fertilizers, with a reaction close to neutral. As a rule, prepare the bed under the bow in advance.

Planting can be both before winter (early autumn) and in early spring. By winter, the onions are usually planted “on the feather” in order to please themselves in the spring with fresh greens, but if you follow simple rules, then you can on a turnip.

I planted several times sevok (small onions grown from seeds) in the winter, but in the spring he very quickly began to shoot at the expense of greenery and the formation of bulbs. After reading the article on the sub-winter planting of onions, I realized: sevok for this you need to choose no more than 1-1.5 cm in diameter.

In the spring of sevok planted in the first decade of May in a well-heated soil. The problem in this case is only its safety in the winter: small onions can dry out. And yet, if planted in a soil whose temperature is less than +12 degrees, the bow will quickly begin to shoot out.

But you shouldn't be late with planting either - it can affect the development and quality of the bow later

Cooking planting material

The day before planting I put them in cheesecloth and keep them in warm water. Sevok also sorted out and more carefully distribute it in size. I keep sevok at home - at room temperature or slightly lower - and the day before planting I put it closer to the battery so that it warms up.

If the onions were kept cool, it is also better to warm it, otherwise the quick appearance of arrows cannot be avoided. Immediately before planting the bulbs in gauze for 10 minutes, put them into a solution of copper sulfate (1 teaspoon per 10 liters of water). This reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

Some gardeners are also soaked in fertilizer solution, I do not do that

We plant

1. Sevok  I close it to a depth of about 4 cm, I make 25 cm between the rows, and leave a little more than 10 cm between the onions. I usually mulch the soil with humus 2. If I sow the seeds  (they are formed at the end of the ripened arrow in the fall), imbue them no more than 2 cm into the soil (the pattern is approximately 13x1.5 cm), water it abundantly from a small watering-can and cover it with plastic wrap.

Onion care

Watering

But in 2013, for example, summer was inconstant: the sun was so hot, and the tips of the onion feathers dried out a couple of days, then it rained when the bulbs were already formed (since July the process of ripening the bulbs begins) and watering was not particularly needed. In this case, you need to look so that the onions do not dry out, but they also do not overflow.

Greens will be the first to know about the excess of moisture - it will become a pale green color.

Fertilizers

After a couple of weeks you can feed again.

Loosening and weeding

Be sure to weed onions. Last summer I planted it in different places: one was in the open sun, and the second - in a warm sunny place, but with a fickle sun.

I didn’t hurry to weed the onions growing on the very “ashes” - I’d just broke through the most aggressive weeds so that the little feathers wouldn’t drown out, and the onion code gained strength, we can remove the weeds. This helped for some time to protect young feathers from drying out and wilting.

Anti fungal treatment

My grandmother loved to add 1 tablespoon of laundry soap, which was rubbed and dissolved in water, into the solution of copper sulfate.

Reproduction of onion

At the end of the summer, arrows are formed on the plants with “balls” at the end - there are seeds in them. When the arrow becomes dry and the seeds acquire a black color, carefully pour them for storage.

Seeds are used to produce small onions — a set-up, from which a full-length onion is formed a year after planting.

Cleaning and storage of onions

If new feathers are not formed, it is September, the foliage is dead, and the bulbs are pleasing to the eye with golden scales, it is time to start cleaning. The main thing is not to tighten it, otherwise the bow will decide to “wake up” and start growing.

Usually, digging onions, I do not wash it - it has historically been in our family: after a good drying and removal of scales, it becomes perfectly clean. But this year there were constant rains, so after we dug up the onions, we had to wash it, remove the roots, cut off the feathers.

After that, the onion is laid out to dry in a single layer. For drying you need a bright, well-ventilated room. Somewhere in 3 weeks, even on bare bulbs, scales are formed, then the crop can be harvested in boxes or storage containers.

Our bow is usually laid out on a street under a canopy, and in the first days after being dug, we leave it right on the ridge under the sun.

Onion varieties

It is recommended for cultivation on a turnip from seeds and sevka. Mid-season onion, round, flat or rounded flat. Maximum weight - about 80 g. This is one of my mother's favorite varieties; it's juicy, and crunchy scales.

Suitable for use fresh in salads - not "nuclear" hot. The upper dry scales of the bulbs are golden yellow. Variety suitable for storage

Bessonovsky  - refers to the local varieties of Penza. The shape of the bulb is rounded flat with a clear elongation of the neck up. Upper scales are yellow. Bulb dense.

Bulb weight - about 45 g. Burning spicy taste. Well kept Tell us, what kind of bows do you grow?

Planting and growing onion instructional videos. Growing onions for greens. Onions, intended for growing on the feather, planted in early spring, so the bed under it is better to cook in the fall.

Just before planting, the bulbs are cut on the "shoulders." This operation awakens the bulb and accelerates the growth of leaves. The land in the garden should be fairly loose. If the ground is compacted or you push the turnip too hard, it will delay the development of the roots.

In order for the earth to warm up faster, you need to mulch the bed with humus or peat. You can also use plastic wrap or other non-woven covering materials, mounted on temporary frames.

Under these conditions, onion germination will accelerate, and you will get greens one or two weeks earlier. As an option, autumn planting of onions on greens is possible. They spend it about a month before the temperature drops to 0 ° C.

The distance between the planted turnips about 3 cm. With this method of landing on 1 square. meter will go from 100 to 600 bulbs (depending on their size). In order to protect the planting from freezing, the bed is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, at least 15-20 cm.

In the spring, the leaves must be removed, and the plants themselves to feed nitrogen fertilizers. When growing green onions, all methods of chemical protection of plants are excluded, therefore, perform all preventive measures in time to prevent plantings from being clogged and plants damaged by pests and pathogens: remove plants with signs of damage, water and loosen the soil in time. When the leaves grow to 25-30 cm, you can start cleaning.

How to plant a bow

Landing time

Place for landing is prepared in the fall. They dig up the soil deeply and fertilize it abundantly with compost, manure or chicken manure, at the rate of 1.5–2 buckets of organic matter per square meter. Also, 25–35 g of superphosphate and potassium salts are applied per square meter.

Good, large heads can be harvested from the site where pumpkin, zucchini, peas, tomatoes or potatoes grew before. If, however, planted sevok spring in the area after carrots, beet, cucumbers or garlic, then the heads will develop very slowly and the harvest will decrease.

Onions are planted in spring as soon as stable, warm weather is established and the soil warms up well. As in insufficiently heated soil, below 12-14 ° C, the onion will go to the arrow. As a rule, the time for landing is chosen at the end of April - the first days of May.

Delay in sowing has a negative effect on the harvest, because of the high temperatures and lack of moisture, the bulbs develop much more slowly. Many gardeners with extensive experience are guided by the term of planting in the spring at the beginning of flowering of bird cherry.

Landing technology

Immediately before planting, the well-dug-up beds are watered with a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate. Later, until the end of the harvest, they no longer apply any fertilizers, but only monitor the cleanliness of planting, timely removing all weed vegetation.

Seed preparation

If the onions are grown on a feather, then they are planted with seeds. 25-28 days before they are sown in the beds, they are tested for germination - stratification.

Then they are transferred to gauze and placed in hot water of 45-55 ° C for 12-16 minutes and immediately dipped for 1.5-2 minutes in cold water, carrying out the so-called hardening. After that, the seed is kept for 22-26 hours in a cloth moistened with warm water, preventing it from drying out.

Next, the seeds are soaked for 2-3 days, changing water daily, and placed on the lower tier of the refrigerator, or in another cool place. At the same time they swell and get rid of inhibiting the germination of substances. Before planting, they are mixed with sawdust or sand.

Seed preparation

If you are planting onion seedlings in the spring on a turnip, then look through the onion and sort by size. As a rule, planted in the first place large, then medium and small.

It should be noted that large bulbs will go to the arrow, from small ones grow large heads.  3-4 days before planting, the sorted planting material is dried and warmed, spreading it in a thin layer at the heat source, not more than 35-42 ° С.

Without warming and drying the whole onion will go to the arrows. After that, they are soaked for 8-10 hours in a weak solution of complex fertilizers, 15-20 g per 10 liters of water. Next, placed in a solution (10-15 g per 10 l) of copper sulfate for the prevention of fungal diseases. Then washed and planted.

To obtain a feather before planting at the bulb is cut off the tip.

Landing

Both seeds and sevka are planted in spring in prepared, well loosened beds. Seeds are planted according to the scheme with the distance between the beds of 12-18 cm, between the onions 1.5-2 cm, and buried to a depth of 1.8-2 cm.

After that, the soil is watered and mulched with straw, sawdust, or covered with a dark film to prevent it from drying out. A sowing tree is planted in beds at a distance of 25-28 cm, between bulbs 10-12 cm. It is buried to a depth of 4.5-5 cm. Thus, to 2.5-3.5 cm of soil was above the shoulders of the bulbs. After that, the beds are watered and mulched.

Bow care

The lack of moisture in the spring is especially noticeable on the leek, the feather gets a bluish, white tint, and the tips dry out and bend. With an excess of moisture or a lack of light, the feather becomes more pale and thin. Therefore, moderate watering is important.

After planting, in May-June, the beds are watered no more than 1-2 times a week, spending 7-11 liters of water per 1 sq. M. Then, watering is reduced to 1 time in 1.5-2.5 weeks, as the head is aging bulbs. However, in case of severe drought, in order to prevent wilting, the number of waterings increases, while reducing water consumption. Regular loosening of the beds, at least once every 2-2.5 weeks, will allow not only to keep the land clean, but also improves the air-wet mode, preventing the ground from over-compacted.

If the growth of feathers is slow, make additional feeding to stimulate growth, 250-280 g of bird droppings or mullein per bucket of water, 15-20 g of urea. Spend this solution at the rate of 3-3.5 liters per square meter. After 12-16 days, the dressing is repeated. When the onion feather reaches 12-16 cm, they carry out preventive treatment for fungal diseases, for which the beds are sprayed with a solution of copper sulfate and liquid soap, 5-8 g per 10 liters of water.

Onions are harvested from the second or third week of August to September, when the feather has fallen and the formation of new feathers has stopped, and the heads have acquired a characteristic color and have formed. If you delay with harvesting, the head will resume growth and the bow will not be suitable for storage.

Planting onions is a delicate matter, planting onions on a turnip

Planting onions is a delicate matter. We put onions on a turnip

The case is subtle, but not too complicated. Anyone who has at least a tiny garden, must plant onions and use mostly green onions from their garden. To grow a real strong onion, which will be stored all winter, in this case will not succeed.

This is the first thing to learn to grow. onions on a turnip. For the cultivation of onion need onion sets. From this begins planting onionsThis is a small onion grown from black onions. So called onion seeds.

We presume that the onion sets in advance, at least one month before planting, we buy at the market or in the store. At home, he should immediately be scattered with a thin layer so that he dries well and warms up. Both are very important.

Raw onions will begin to germinate, and when not sufficiently warmed up they can "go to arrows" on the garden. good harvest. The beds for growing onions on a turnip should be well loosened and filled with organic and mineral fertilizers.

At 1 square meter make 0.5 - 1 bucket of compost, 200 grams of ash and water with a solution of potassium permanganate 0.5 gr. on 10l of water. It is not necessary to add more fertilizer and fertilizing until the very end. Before planting, the sets are sifted, the neck is cut, but so that the cut diameter is no more than 1 cm, the excess husks are removed and soaked for 24 hours with water at room temperature.

After that, the water is drained and lightly dried. Now you can plant. Landing dates are determined as follows. Onions should be planted as soon as possible, as soon as the earth has thawed out so that you can make holes. The meaning of early planting is that while the temperature of the air and the surface of the earth is low, the bulb begins to grow roots.

Therefore, by the onset of heat, the bulb will root well. If you delay the planting and the temperature of the air and the earth will be high, the feather will immediately start to grow. Root system  will not be so powerful and it will affect the results. A little more about the preparation of the set for planting.

Best of all, if the size of the bulbs is about as hazelnut. If the bulbs bigger size, then they can be cut to a depth of 1 cm. If the bulbs are 5 cm in diameter or more, then an incision is made cross-nakrest to the same depth.

This should be done carefully so as not to damage the rudimentary buds. And then instead of a single bulb, 2, 3, or 4 bulbs will grow. By planting onions on a turnip

Today we talk about the timing of planting onions. Sevok - small onions grown from seeds, it is best to plant only in the spring, before the winter it is planted only to get a green feather. Full-quality, high-quality bulbs usually can not be obtained because it almost always goes in arrows. But onion chernushka planted in the spring and the winter. Each gardener chooses at his own discretion the appropriate lines for him. Regardless of the timing of landing, the first thing you need to prepare the place and planting material. It is necessary to choose a site for planting onions in advance, approximately in a week, if the planting is autumn and better in the fall, if you plan to plant onions in spring. It would be nice if the forerunners for onions were such vegetable cropslike beans, tomatoes, potatoes. Experienced gardeners do not recommend planting onions after beets, cucumbers and carrots. They dig up the earth deeply and, if necessary, add organic fertilizer. Before planting, the soil should be properly loosened and disinfected with a steep solution of potassium permanganate.

When the place is ready, proceed to the preparation of seeds or sevka. Sevok sorted, dried and heated. Next, we carry out disinfection in a solution of copper sulfate, prepare it at the rate of ten grams of vitriol per ten liters of water. You can even soak the treatment of fungal diseases sevka in a solution of complex fertilizers. Some farmers use growth stimulants, they plant planting material before planting. Onion seeds need to harden. To do this, they are placed in hot water with a temperature of fifty - sixty degrees for fifteen minutes, then immediately dipped in cold water. After this procedure, the seeds are wrapped for a day in a warm, damp cloth, and then placed in a cool place.

The timing of planting spring onions

Hurry up in the spring with a bow landing is not worth it. We carry out these works only when warm weather is established, the ground warms up well. This period mainly falls on the end of April and the beginning of May. It is important not to miss the golden mean when it is still impossible to plant and when it is too late to carry out such work. After all, planting ahead of time, in the cold ground, sevok will go to the arrows, and later heat and lack of moisture in the soil will negatively affect plant growth.

In the prepared beds we make furrows up to two centimeters deep. The width between the rows should not exceed twenty centimeters. We sow seeds as seldom as possible from each other if we sow onions on a turnip, and the density of sowing does not matter if we sow to obtain onion sevka. After sowing, produce watering, you can cover the beds with a film before germination. When planting a sev, the furrows deepen to five centimeters, the width between the rows increases to thirty centimeters, and in the rows the distance between the bulbs is ten to twelve centimeters. Having landed all the bulbs, the earth is slightly compacted and irrigated.

Terms of planting onions in the fall

For the autumn planting of onions, the prepared place is properly loosened, weeds are removed, the soil is disinfected from possible diseases, treated with pests, and only then we plant the onions. By the very the best time  is the month of October, namely the first and second decade, it is from the first to the twentieth day. Planting onions during this period will enable the bulbs to take root and continue to winter well. If, however, a little late in planting, the earth will freeze and this will have a negative impact on the harvest.

The onion planting dates may also differ slightly in days in different regions of the country. After all, climatic conditions sometimes make their own adjustments, and in each season the weather can present its own surprises. So try to be determined with the terms based on their examples.
