One of the first crops that gardeners begin to plant is onions. This plant has a large varietal choice, which very often puts novice gardeners and gardeners into a dead end. After all, it is quite difficult to choose a plant without knowing its characteristics. In this article we will consider the best grade of onion seedlings.

Before choosing sets, which will later be planted, you need to make sure that it is really a good choice. You can buy sevok in the store or independently prepare. But in any case, it is necessary to proceed from the criteria for selecting the appropriate seedling.

Selection Criteria:

• taste characteristics. First of all, you should start your choice with this parameter, because it is because of this that onions are grown;
• the form. This criterion depends only on the varietal variety and taste characteristics. After all, few people will plant onions just because it is round;
• resistance to temperature, as well as humidity. responds to these factors by reducing its growth activity. Therefore, remember that the more the bow will be transported, pulling, the earlier it will start growing and begin to germinate;
• the smell emanating from the onions should be characteristic of onions. There should be no smell of rot, dampness, mildew;
• good specimens should have a small amount of dried onions (no more than 1%);
• dried onions must rustle. This is a sign of a good set;

• all onions must match the shape and color characteristics of the selected class;
• appearance. Onions should be dense and have a flat surface. They should be free from traces of diseases, pests, rot or spoilage;
• the color of the bulbs should be uniform, with no different spots;
• on sevka there should be no mechanical damage;
• onions should be dry. In the case of wet specimens (their color is a bit darker), it will be enough just to dry them;
• the seller must indicate the exact name of the variety, as well as its characteristics and storage periods. This is a necessary condition, since varieties of onion seedlings have different species parameters, on which germination and yield directly depend. These parameters should also be indicated on the packaging.

In addition to these criteria, not the last place is the size of the bulbs. Sevki for this indicator are divided into the following groups:

1. small variety varieties. This group includes plants with an onion size of 10-15 mm. Such bulbs can be planted before winter;
2. srednegnezdnye varieties. The group combines plants with bulbs of sizes 15.1-22 mm;
3. multi-varietal varieties. This includes onions that have an onion size ranging from 22.1 to 40 mm.

Onions belonging to the second and third groups are stored until spring and only then they are planted in the ground. More large sevok  can be used to produce green feathers in winter and springtime.

There is another classification of onion sets by their size:

• small fraction - 8-14 mm. The most optimal size for winter planting. For the spring landing this fraction is not suitable. Their bulbs do not give arrows. However, such sevka because of the small size often freeze. Plants with such bulbs can lag three weeks after maturation from the sevka of the middle fraction. When landing on nutrient poor soil forms small onion;

• average fraction –14–21 mm. Often used for sub-winter landing. Onions also do not form arrows. The optimum size for spring planting;
• large fraction - 21–24 mm. Used for podzimny landing and planted only for the production of greenery. In the case of spring planting can form arrows (give some varieties in the case of early planting or improper storage). A big plus of this fraction is that the ripening and harvesting is guaranteed. This fraction is advised to plant the most novice and inexperienced gardeners;
• coarse fraction - 24–30 mm. This fraction appeared on the market relatively recently. The advantage of this group is the low stage. Used for podzimny landing and only for the production of greenery. Spring planting is carried out similarly to the previous fractions;
• very large fraction - 30–40 mm. Used to produce greens. It is not arrowed, but only if it is properly stored. Experts recommend warming up the bulbs before planting the ground.

Today on the market you can find sevok and more large sizes. But such bulbs have a high probability of bolting. This bow is not very suitable for planting.

Using sevka one faction has the following advantages:

1. high uniformity of planting material;
2. the use of uniform planting material increases the yield growth by up to 20%;
3. onions grow in predictable sizes;
4. maximum correlation of the ripening time of the plant is provided.

Therefore, the selection of onion sets should be made depending on the time of planting and its purpose. The most optimal size of the bulbs for their further normal growth is 1-2 cm.

The advantages of using seed instead of seed:

• the opportunity to get a harvest can be much earlier;
• the culture has a more rapid development, which positively affects the quality of the crop itself at the end of the growing season;
• the plant has a stronger and more powerful root system. This property is of great importance when growing plants on dry soils;
• plants grown from sevka are less susceptible to the negative effects of weeds;

• in the case of onion growth on light soils, crop loss due to wind erosion is minimal;
• onion tolerates machining.

It is necessary to approach selection of onion seedlings thoroughly, since the yield and the growth rate of plants depend on this stage.

Top Grades

How to get onion sets at home

Recently, gardeners prefer to grow onion sets themselves. The stores do not always have all the desired varieties of planting material. A huge selection of varieties of culture can be found in the form of seeds. Growing onion seedlings from seeds is a rather painstaking process. If you comply with all the conditions, you can get the desired result.

Onion seedlings are no different from ready-made onions for planting. It must be remembered that the seeds have a rather short shelf life. Experienced gardeners prefer to use seeds obtained in the past year.

Seeds, purchased in the store, have already been treated with fungicidal agents. The result is a guarantee of better germination. Material obtained independently at home is recommended to be disinfected. To do this, it is necessary to soak the onion seeds in warm water with manganese for 24 hours.

To increase the germination time, planting material is placed among the wet wipes for several days. The appearance of small shoots suggests that they are ready for planting.

After some time, you can observe the first seedlings. Caring for onions consists of weeding and loosening the soil. At your summer cottage you can grow the best varieties of onions.

Features of growing

  from sevka not make much effort.  This type of bow is the most popular among many. How to grow onions? Before planting, it must be heated for 2 days. For rapid rooting, it can be processed by growth accelerators. To get a large crop, sevok should be planted at a distance of 10 cm. The depth of the furrow should be more than 5 cm.

After germination, onions need to loosen and feed. The presence of weeds is unacceptable. They, growing, shade young shoots. Harvest can be in the presence of dry foliage.

Growing a turnip onion is a more complicated process. Before planting sevok recommend soaking in warm water. After two days, the onions will begin to germinate. Plant them better at a distance of 12 cm. The depth of the furrow should be no more than 9 cm. Posad should be carried out in early spring, when the soil is well-moistened.

Caring for this culture is no different from caring for the previous one.  The plant needs feedings for rapid growth. To do this, use mineral complexes that are well absorbed by the plant. Organic fertilizer should be applied directly under the root. When the bulb is fully formed, all work ceases. You can proceed to the next stage - the harvest.

In the middle of the spring season one of the first planted onions. It is difficult for a novice gardener to decide on the best variety, especially when it comes to planting winter sharp or semi-pointed onion sets. Our detailed description will help you make right choice  and plant a vegetable that matches your preferences.

Sevok is small bulbs with an average diameter of 1.5-2 cm, which is obtained in the first year of planting seeds. They can be purchased at the garden center or grow yourself. When choosing such planting material, you must be one hundred percent sure that it is really high quality. Carefully look at the sevka, it should be smooth, with a well-developed neck and fully closed. Husk must be dried and rustled, it is a sign good quality. The aroma of sevka should be pleasant, without foreign smell of rot, mildew and dampness.

Onion sets

Pay attention to the size of the bulbs. Conventionally, they can be divided into three main types. The first group includes small-class varieties with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm. Such bulbs are considered to be the standard, and they are more suitable for winter cultivation. Carry bulbs of larger diameter (up to 2 cm) to srednegnezdovymi, and group from 2.2 to 4 cm to polyclycetes. The last two groups are stored until late spring and are planted only in late April. To get a turnip, we choose a small set, and for a green pen - large specimens.

It is possible to divide also into fractions, each of which has its own purpose. The first small fraction includes bulbs of 0.8-1.4 cm in size. It belongs to winter variety onions, and for spring cultivation, it is not suitable. Such a bow does not give arrows. In general, by the time of harvesting, it grows large. However, if the soil is not fertilized with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers and does not contribute any nutrients, the bulbs become shallow. For podzyme planting used medium fraction bulbs. Their size varies from 1.4 cm to 2.1 cm. Like the varieties of the previous fraction, they do not give arrows.

To get greens, use a large fraction seam with a diameter of 2.1-2.4 cm. This fraction has a high degree of germination and is perfect for planting beginner gardeners. Relatively recently, a large fraction of onion sets appeared on the domestic market. Its size is 2.4-3 cm. Such planting material has a relatively low price, it is used for podima landing and getting juicy greens. The latter type is a very large fraction of 3-4 cm in size. It is used to produce a green pen, and if it is properly stored, it does not shoot out. There are larger bulbs, although using them for planting is not recommended due to the high probability of marksmanship.

Among the variety of varieties for planting emit onions with a sharp, semi-sharp and sweet aftertaste. Varieties with a sharp taste are referred to early maturity, they are stored longer and have a large amount of essential oils and sugars. However, they are less productive than other representatives of this culture. The outer shell has several layers of husk, so you can collect vegetables either manually or with a special sweeper.

Semi-sharp species have a smaller amount of external husk, have a less dense flesh and a milder taste. It is preferable to collect data varieties manually, when the machine assembly, they are often injured. Resistance to storage of semi-onion is medium. It ripens longer, although the harvest gives better quality. Lovers of sweet varieties will be pleased with the advantages of this onion.
