Good variety of onions

Onion varieties for storage: description, reviews, photos

Onion Stuttgarter rizen, description - a variety of German selection, which has become by right the most popular in the world among varieties of onions. Early maturing: from sowing to ripening 120 days when grown from seeds and 60-70 days from seedlings. The bulb is flat-rounded, large, weighs 120-150 grams. The taste is spicy. It is appreciated for its yield (5 kg / m2 with minimal maintenance). Perfect evenness of the bulbs, excellent keeping quality. Resistant to downy mildew (downy mildew). Unpretentious and very flexible variety.

Bow Sturon and Centurion

New selection of the Stuttgarter rizen variety. Centurion is a heterotic hybrid (F1). Both of these varieties produce the highest quality, well-stored bulbs. The shape of the Sturon bulbs is perfectly round; the Centurion forms a somewhat elongated bulb. Round and elongated onions are very convenient for cutting, and the housewives have already appreciated this. These varieties have a smaller bottom and a narrower neck than Stuttgarter rizen. The small bottom reduces waste when cutting the onions. A narrower neck dries out faster, which means that the likelihood of pathogens getting to the bulb decreases. A higher yield of these onions was noted in comparison with the well-known Stuttgarter rizen variety.

Onion Orion, variety description

Exclusive grade of the English firm "Johnson". Orion is the result of many years of work to improve other breeding types. The cultivar gives leveled production of perfectly rounded, large (up to 150-200 grams) bulbs. Early ripening periods allow this onion to fully ripen even in Siberian conditions, which creates good preconditions for long-term storage. Many gardeners prefer this variety to everyone else.

Popular varieties of red onions: a description of Bombay and Brunswick onions

Onions of the Stuttgarten variety Riesen, Red Baron, Lyubchik, Victoria.

Varieties of large onions: description, photos, reviews Onion Globo

Mid-season variety, one of the largest among salad varieties. The bulb is round, light yellow, weighing up to 1 kg, very juicy, sweet taste. From seed to turnip, it is grown in 1 season only through seedlings.

Planting pattern of seeding: 7 x 35 cm.To obtain seeding from nigella, the seeding pattern is continuous: 1.5 x 1.5 cm.

Bow Exhibition

Medium late variety, forms a huge bulb weighing 500-800 grams, sweet taste without bitterness. The shelf life of the crop is short, only 3-4 months. Grown only through seedlings.

Texas yellow onion

Popular Dutch variety. All Siberian gardeners are delighted with this onion. It grows easily and quickly, forms a good head in one season. Quite large bulbs have a straw-yellow color, dense and mild flesh. The variety is resistant to pink root rot.

Growing onions from seeds

Before sowing, onion seeds are soaked for 2-3 hours in water. Then they are kept for 3-4 days in a damp cloth. Be sure to disinfect the seeds in a dark solution of potassium permanganate (1 g per 1 liter of water) for 8 hours at a temperature of 40 ° C.

To get giant bulbs, seedlings are grown. To do this, in mid-March, seeds are sown in boxes filled with a soil mixture of humus, sod land and mullein (9: 10: 1) with a neutral reaction. Sowing is sprinkled with a loose soil mixture through a sieve, then rolled. Onion shoots appear 7-12 days after sowing.

Maintain the temperature when growing seedlings: 20-22 ° C until germination, then 17-20 ° C during the day, 10-14 ° C at night. Drizzle with warm water.

Frequent airing does not allow the seedlings to stretch out unnecessarily.

They are planted in a permanent place after two months, usually in mid-May. Immediately before planting, the seedlings are hardened for 2 days. Landings are placed in an open, unshaded place. The scheme for planting seedlings in open ground 20 x 30 cm.

Fresh manure is harmful. Planting is placed in the place where manure was introduced 2-3 years ago, since the plant forms a large leaf mass and loose bulbs unsuitable for storage using fresh manure. A month after planting the seedlings, and then, if necessary, the site is loosened and weeded. After the formation of the bulbs, the soil is raked away so that only the bottom is in the soil.In this case, the bulbs ripen faster and are better stored in the future.

Harvesting turnip onions

In August, as soon as the feather begins to lay down, to accelerate the ripening of the bulbs, it is rolled. Lodging of leaves is the first sign of ripening. Simultaneously with the lodging and yellowing of the leaves, the roots die off at the bottom. Thus, the bow shows us that it has stopped growing. Onions are harvested closer to mid-August. The most important thing is not to be late in harvesting large and lying bulbs, since after the leaves have completely dried out, if the soil is wet, roots begin to grow again, which reduces their keeping quality. Onions are harvested only in dry weather, it is good if there is a breeze that dries it outdoors. Drying the onions in the sun helps to decontaminate the bulbs and store them better. Then the onions are dried in the attic or in the shed for a month. During this time, the neck becomes thin and dry. Dried onions are peeled from dry scales and placed for long-term storage.

Growing onions through seedlings

Some people sow Dutch onion seeds in the early spring directly in open ground and get good results. But if you want to get the maximum yield in a small area, and such that it deserves its name Exhibition, you cannot do without seedlings. Many, after reading these lines, will immediately remember with sadness their windowsills, lined with seedlings of tomatoes and peppers. And then there's the bow! But let us reassure you in advance: from 0.4 g, or 100 seeds, more than 11 kg of onions will grow. Use 1 liter juice boxes to plant them on seedlings. They take up little space, are compactly placed on the windowsill, and the seedlings can be easily removed from them without injuring the roots.

Sowing is best in mid-March. Some vegetable growers recommend doing this in February, of course, if it is possible to regulate the temperature and light conditions (cool at night, illuminate in the morning and evening). Such terms are justified, as they will provide the output of better quality seedlings. But in an ordinary apartment with an early planting, the seedlings will stretch out and grow heavily.

Sowing Dutch onion seeds is a pleasure, as they are treated with fungicides and painted in bright colors, which allows you to control the planting density. It is enough to pour the seeds from the bag onto the prepared moistened soil and use a match to distribute them evenly over the entire area at a distance of about 0.5 cm. However, the seeds of the Globo variety are not treated with anything. In order not to thicken their planting, a layer of snow is placed on the soil. On a white background, the nigella is clearly visible. By the way, this method is very convenient for sowing very small dark seeds, for example, petunias, snapdragons, celery and other crops. When the snow melts, the seeds are pressed into the soil gradually and evenly provided with moisture, which contributes to their more friendly germination. Cover the onion seeds with a layer of soil no more than 1 cm, place the box in a plastic bag and place it under the battery. After a few days, the first green "loops" appear. This is a signal that it is time to expose the container to the light.

Top dressing onions

Water the seedlings sparingly, as the soil dries up. The need for feeding is determined based on the quality of the substrate. Use well-rotted manure or compost sifted through a metal mesh (0.5 cm mesh) or compost with the addition of ash and sand. A sufficient amount of nitrogen, potassium and trace elements in its basis makes it possible to do practically without additional feeding. Some phosphorus deficiency is compensated for by one-time watering with ammophos solution.

To prevent the seedlings from pulling out, if possible, spray it with an epin solution (this applies more to tomatoes). Many summer residents, when planting seedlings, make a gross mistake, strongly compressing the ground around the planted plants. At the same time, pampered stems and fragile roots are often injured, and oxygen access to them is also blocked.It is better to make a depression with a small hoe, put the seedlings there, gently scoop up the soil to the roots and water. In this case, the soil itself is evenly compacted around the seedlings.

Despite the fact that the feather of the onion grows powerful and thick, it is often not worth cutting it off for consumption. After all, it is due to it that the onion grows, and the starting conditions for nigella and sevka are incommensurable. And in the shortest time it is necessary to achieve maximum results. The perennial leek and the annual Parade onion are grown on the green feather, which gives leaves until late autumn. Onions from seeds are "pinched" only occasionally, its greens are juicy, sweetish.

During the growing season, it is useful to sprinkle all onion plants with ashes a couple of times. In addition to potassium nutrition and a full range of trace elements, this will to some extent save plantings from fungal diseases. The rest of the dressing is carried out according to the usual scheme, familiar to every gardener. The main thing is to maintain the optimal distance between plants (5-6 cm) in a row when planting seedlings, although, looking at the thin borings, you just want to plant denser. But this is not necessary, because a rapidly growing bulb needs a large area of ​​nutrition.

Grow annuals only through seedlings. Moreover, it is recommended to do thickened crops, so that the bylochki support each other and do not fall, and when they are 10-15 cm, then cut them in half so that they go not upward, but in breadth. When planting, once again cut the greens by 1/3 and the roots by 1/3. That's the whole trick.

With any method of growing onions during the ripening period, when the feather is still green, it is necessary to create conditions so that as much nutrients as possible pass into the bulb, and at the same time prevent the formation of new roots and regrowth, which will further negatively affect preservation. To prevent this from happening, in rainy weather, you should cover the plantings with pieces of old film, and then you do not need to cut the roots or "trample" the feather, as amateur vegetable growers advise. After harvesting, marketable onions are placed in plywood fruit crates, which ensure good air exchange.

You will have enough of your onions almost until the next harvest. The advantage of this method is obvious - the cost of packing even the most expensive seeds is incomparable with the price of a kilogram of seed. Under no circumstances will your onion “go to the arrow”, and you will get the opportunity to grow exactly the variety that you like best. After all, the assortment of nigella is much wider than the set.

Do you want to grow onions but don't know which variety to choose? Then be sure to read our article.

We will introduce you to the best varieties of onions that you can grow on your site without any problems.

When choosing a variety of onions for a summer residence, pay attention to its regionality. Depending on the area of ​​growth, onion varieties can be divided into 2 types:

• southern;
• northern.

Southern varieties of onions do not last very long, but they are not very spicy in taste. Some of them are called sweet at all and are referred to as salad types of onions. If you want to get southern varieties of onions in the northern regions or in the middle lane, it is worth growing them through seedlings.

Northern varieties of onions are pungent in taste, but have excellent keeping quality.

White onions are also distinguished. It has a softer and sweeter taste. White onions are among the salad varieties. However, such bulbs are poorly stored, quickly damaged by pests, soften and rot.

In France, it is from white onions that the famous onion soup is prepared.

• How to choose the right onion for different dishes

  Onions contain a lot of nutrients that are preserved even during cooking. In addition, it gives dishes a unique taste and pleasant aroma.

There are also onion varieties according to the growing season: in the early varieties this period is 90-100 days, in the middle ones - 100-120 days, and in the later ones - more than 120 days.

Depending on the size of the bulb, there are 3 types:

• small - less than 50 g;
• medium - 50-100 g;
• large - more than 100 g.

Depending on how many bulbs can form in the nest, varieties are distinguished:

• small-sized (1-2 bulbs);
• medium-sized (3-4 bulbs);
• multi-nested (5 or more bulbs).

Nesting largely depends on the size of the seedlings, as well as on the growing conditions of the crop. If the seed is larger, and the soil fertility and moisture is higher, then the number of bulbs in the nest will be greater.

Spicy, semi-sharp, sweet onions - looking for differences

All spicy varieties of onions are early ripening. They are distinguished by good keeping quality, high content of essential oils and sugars, but at the same time they are less productive. Such varieties, as a rule, are covered with several layers of outer scales, and therefore they can be removed not only manually, but also using specialized equipment.

Peninsular onion varieties have few outer scales, and the flesh is not as dense and sharp. Such a bow, when harvesting with special equipment, is often injured and quickly deteriorates. Semi-sharp varieties are considered to be medium-hard and take longer to ripen. However, they give a higher yield than sharp varieties.

Sweet onions taste great and are often used fresh. They give a high yield, but it is stored for a short time. Sharp and semi-sharp onions can be grown in any region. In the southern regions, during the growing season, crops can be obtained even from seeds. And in the middle lane and northern zones - only through seedlings or by planting seedlings. Sweet varieties are grown mostly in hot southern regions from seeds.

Growing technology and care of onions in the open field (with video)

Onions in the photo

Of the cultivated species, onions are the most widespread. It is not very rich in vitamins. True, green onions contain much more vitamin C than onions, they contain more potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron salts. But the main advantage of all types of onions is essential oils, which stimulate gastric secretion, increase appetite, and, finally, phytoncides are fierce enemies of bacteria.

Using one or another cultivation technology, onions can be grown in one year from nigella seeds and in two years from onion sets.

With an annual onion culture, seeds are sown as soon as the soil allows in March. The time from sowing to emergence is 21 days. They accelerate the emergence of seedlings by pre-sowing heat treatment of seeds, soaking them, including in growth stimulants. During the period of seed germination and after the appearance of the fifth leaf, onions must be watered. With a lack of moisture in the soil, the growth of leaves stops, and small, underdeveloped bulbs are formed, even if there are only 2-3 true leaves. Then the plant falls into a dormant state. This phenomenon in onions is irreversible. Therefore, violation of agricultural techniques for growing onions in the open field, especially in the first 70-80 days of growth, can lead to large crop losses.

For the successful cultivation of onions, seeds are sown in rows, the distance between them is 20-25 cm, the planting depth is 2-3 cm.It is useful to mulch onion crops with humus, which prevents the appearance of a soil crust, retains moisture in the soil, which contributes to the appearance of friendly shoots.

At first, onion shoots grow very slowly, they need to be watered and loosened. Loosening should not be deep (4-5 cm) so as not to damage the root system.

When 1-2 true leaves appear, the first thinning of crops (up to 1.5-2 cm) is carried out in strongly thickened places, removing weaker plants. After the formation of 3-4 leaves, a second thinning is done already at the final distance of 4-6 cm.

When growing and caring for onions with thinning, as with watering, you must not be late. Otherwise, thickening and dryness of the soil accelerate the formation of small bulbs with an insufficient number of leaves.

For growing onions through a set, healthy bulbs are used. After winter storage, the sets are sorted out before planting. If in the previous year, during cultivation, the plants were affected by downy mildew, the seedlings should be warmed up 10-15 days before planting for 8 hours at a temperature of + 40 ... + 42 ° C for disinfection. The high temperature will also help reduce plant shooting.

Sevok is planted, without deepening, in April in heated soil. Planting too early will cause arrows to form; later planting will reduce the yield. The arrows that appear break out.

The video "Growing Onions" shows all the main agricultural techniques:

Pay attention to the photo - when growing and caring for onions, when the bulbs are poured, the soil or mulching material is raked away from them so that the ripening crop is in the sun:

Watering should be stopped 2-3 weeks before the expected harvesting date, the bulbs should ripen well. A sign of readiness of onions for harvesting is mass lodging of leaves. Harvested in dry weather.

Traditional varieties of onions for a turnip are those with large, flattened or globular bulbs that can be stored throughout the winter. The color of the scales varies from almost white to bright red; the taste of the onion ranges from mild to pungent. Most varieties are planted in the spring, but there are varieties that are planted in the fall and harvested at the end of July of the following year.In the south, with mild winters, Japanese varieties are the most reliable when planted before winter, but they are unsuitable for long-term storage.

Remember!

Onions grown for feathers are not treated with any pesticides.

Leaves are not cut from onions planted to obtain a turnip.

A good harvest of onions can only be obtained in a sunny place, free from the roots of perennial plants (trees and shrubs).

Seed-grown onions keep better. Onions with yellow and dark red skins are especially well kept.

From seedlings stored at temperatures from + 1 ° C to + 18 ° C (constantly or periodically), the plants quickly go to the arrow.

Growing, care and reproduction of shallots (with photo)

Shallots in the photo

More early ripening, high-yielding, it is more dense, transportable and keeping quality in comparison with onions. The bulbs are hardy, they can freeze and thaw without damage, while retaining the ability to regrow. Virtually no arrows.

Multifaceted bulbs (shrew), from one bulb you can get a nest weighing up to 500 g, containing up to 40 bulbs of 15-30 g, depending on the variety. Prized for its special pungent taste, it is considered the best onion for cooking. Bulbs for planting are stored in a cool, bright place.

Reproduction of shallots is carried out, as a rule, vegetatively, that is, by dividing the bulb into shares. When planted in autumn, the shrike produces a large number of seeds. Reproduction of shallots through seeds has health benefits. This onion has more delicate leaves than onions. From 30 to 35 leaves are formed on the bulb, which is 3-4 times more than that of a turnip. Ripen 1-1.5 months earlier than the last.

Mainly cultivated for early greenery in open and protected ground. Small lobes are planted in grooves with a depth of 4-6 cm, the distance between them in a row: on a turnip - 8 cm, on greens - 4 cm, the aisles are the same as for onions.

When growing shallots in greenhouses in winter, remember that shallots have a deep dormant period. Therefore, before planting the bulbs, it is necessary to cut the neck by the shoulders and warm it up in water for 2-3 hours at a temperature of + 40 ... + 45 ° C.

Shallots require significantly less watering than onions, which is very important in places with a lack of irrigation water. The rest of the care is the same as for onions.

Check out the basic techniques for growing and caring for shallots in these photos:

Shallot varieties and their photos

Bulbs weigh 25-45 g. The leaves are wide enough, almost like onions, but turn yellow early.

Growing and caring for chives in the open field (with photo)

Chives on the photo

Chives are a perennial herb that produces good greens throughout the year. In the open field, in one place, you can grow for four to five years. This plant can be grown in greenhouses and even in a room.The leaves of chives are very delicate, slightly pungent and fragrant. They contain vitamin C, carotene, sugar, essential oils, mineral salts. In terms of chemical composition, this is one of the most valuable vegetable onions; in terms of calorie content, it surpasses onions. In spring it grows back very quickly and forms a large green mass.

To obtain the highest yields, cultivation of chives is best done on moist, weed-free soils. It can be grown by sowing seeds in open ground in early spring with a seeding depth of 0.5-1 cm or vegetatively by dividing bushes. Bushes are planted at a distance of 20 cm from each other, divided every 3-4 years. With prolonged cultivation for more than four years, 50-60 daughter plants are formed in the bush, the leaves become small, the yield decreases. Chives, after seed ripening in June, grows back and gives good greens in the second half of summer and autumn.

When growing chives, caring for plants includes loosening, watering, weeding. Water regularly; the best condition for growth is a sunny place. Young greens are harvested several times during the growing season. Leaves are cut at a height of 2 cm above soil level. If you are interested in getting greens throughout the season, then cut the leaves whole, and do not pinch off the tops, and do not let the onions bloom.

It is possible to use this type of onion as an ornamental culture, as it forms openwork spherical inflorescences of pink or purple color.

Look at the photo of growing chives and caring for plants to better understand how all the basic agricultural techniques are performed:

The best varieties of chives

"Honey plant" - mid-early, semi-acute. The period from the emergence of mass shoots (regrowth of leaves) to the beginning of harvesting is 36-50 days. The variety is characterized by amicable growth of greenery in spring and long-term yield, which is up to 2.5 kg / m2 per season.

"Albion" - mid-season, winter-hardy variety of chives. For one onion 2-3 leaves. The length of the leaves is up to 38 cm, the width is 0.6 cm, the length of the false stem is 2.2 cm. The weight of one plant is 15-18 g. The taste is spicy. The yield per cut is 1.7-2.0 kg / m2.

"Spring" - mid-season, winter-hardy variety. The plant forms a powerful bush with a high degree of branching, up to 60 cm high. Leaf length 38 cm, width 0.8 cm. False stem up to 10 cm long. Slightly sharp taste. Productivity for the growing season is up to 6.0 kg / m2 (3-4 cuts).

"Nemal" - the mass of leaves on one plant is 580 g, false bulbs 290 g, the predominant color of the leaves is green, with a medium waxy bloom. The taste is spicy. The optimal yield is 6.84 kg / m2. It is cultivated on a green feather as an early spring vitamin green.

"Erecta" - forms a rich green mass with delicate leaves of a pleasant taste. It blooms with beautiful, large, pink-lilac flowers.

Growing conditions and care for leeks (with video)

Onion -porey in the photo

This type of onion resembles garlic in appearance. But this is only an external resemblance. The leaves are flat, folded along the central vein up to 50-60 cm long. It does not form bulbs; leaves and a dense bleached stem (leg) are used for food.

Leek is one of the most valuable types of onion. It has excellent taste and gives fresh greens until the very frost. This culture lacks a pungent smell and taste. Its aroma is softer, and its taste is subtler, more pleasant, sweeter than that of onions. Leeks contain vitamins C, E, B1, B2, PP.

As you can see in the photo, this type of onion is used as salad greens:

The lower leaves form a false stem 10-30 cm long, 2-5 cm in diameter. Leeks are also canned, salted, pickled, dried, frozen.

An important property of leeks is that during winter storage there is not a decrease, but a significant increase in the content of vitamin C in the stem due to the outflow from the leaves.

Leeks are grown both by seedlings and by sowing seeds in the ground.The time from sowing to germination is 14-18 days. Seeds remain viable for 3 years.

It is a very moisture-loving plant, so one of the conditions for growing leeks is to provide the plants with sufficient water. The culture is very demanding on soil fertility. If organic fertilizers were not introduced for digging in the fall (10 kg of humus per 1 m2), then during the growing season, additional feeding with infusion of mullein or chicken droppings should be carried out.

A distinctive feature of caring for leeks during cultivation is that in the second half of summer (in July, August) it must be hilled 2-3 times. This exercise allows you to get a long, delicate, well-bleached leg. Although the leaves of the leek grow until late autumn, you should not delay harvesting, especially if the onion is intended for storage.

In warm years, leek winters well in the open field.

The video of growing leeks shows all the main agricultural practices:

The best leeks for the middle lane

Among the best varieties of leeks are:

"Karantansky" - late ripening variety, vegetation period 125-176 days from germination to technical ripeness. Semi-sharp, the leg is short - 10-25 cm, cylindrical in shape, the thickness in the middle part is 5 cm, the mass of the leg is about 100 g.

"Winter giant"... Due to its frost resistance and late ripening, the variety is especially valuable for consumption in winter. This leek variety forms a thick, long stem with a wonderful mild flavor. Disease resistant, stored until May.

"Elephant's trunk" - biennial plant. Leaves 80-90 cm long, covered with a waxy bloom, delicate, slightly pungent in taste.

"White Lisbon" - special type of onion for salad purposes. Forms rich, juicy greens of pleasant taste with a massive, thick and very delicate base. In the middle lane, this variety of leeks can be planted before winter - then you will provide yourself with the earliest spring greens.

"Russian size" - a plant with a giant "leg" of at least 60 cm. Early ripening, valued for its high potassium content.

The best varieties of onion-batuna, planting, care and cultivation

Onion-batun in the photo

Batun onion is a perennial herb, does not form bulbs, branches strongly and forms a large leaf mass, contains twice as much vitamin C as onions, in addition, it is rich in carotene, vitamins B1, B2, D, proteins, phosphorus salts and copper.

Among the varieties of onion-batun, the most famous is "April". This is an early ripe variety, from germination to technical maturity, it takes 30-40 days. The color of the leaves is dark green, with a weak waxy bloom, the weight of the plant is 200-300 g. The taste is semi-sharp, the leaves are tender, juicy, do not coarse for a long time.

"Russian winter" - mid-season, winter-hardy variety. This one of the best varieties of onion is cultivated in both annual and perennial crops. The taste is semi-sharp, the leaves are tender. With perennial culture - 2-3 cuts of green feathers per summer.

When growing and caring for the onion, keep in mind that it is a light-loving, cold-resistant plant. It tolerates spring frosts down to -10 ° C. Plant development begins in spring at a temperature of + 2 ° C. It can grow in one place for 4-5 years. With regular harvesting, the leaves will grow back throughout the summer.

The plant is propagated by seeds and dividing the bush. Planting and caring for batun onions can be carried out during the spring and summer. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. When propagating by dividing the bush, one plant gives 5-7 daughter plants per year. It is better to transplant at the end of August - September, while the leaves are cut off so as not to cover the growing point. After planting, when growing onions, watering is required.

Multi-tiered onions: planting, care and cultivation (with photo)

Multi-tiered bow in the photo

A tiered bow is a type of perennial bow. Outwardly, it looks like a bulb and a batun.Just like onions, this type of onion forms fist-like leaves and a true basal bulb. Its main difference from the batun and onion is in the structure of the flower arrow.

Look at the photo - the arrow of a multi-tiered bow ends not with flowers, but with air bulbs located in 3-4 tiers:

The largest air bulbs (bulbs) are on the 1st tier, the smallest ones on the 3rd and 4th. Does not form seeds, propagates only vegetatively - air bulbs and basal bulbs by dividing the bush. It grows in one place for 4-5 years. Very winter-hardy. It tolerates frost well down to -40 ° С.

In multi-tiered onions, all parts of the plant (leaves, basal bulbs and bulbs) are eaten fresh and canned. They are used as a seasoning for the first and second courses, in the preparation of meat and vegetable okroshka, various salads, marinades. The green leaves of this onion are a good decoration for snack dishes (cold fish, caviar, mushrooms, etc.).

To grow multi-tiered onions for digging the soil before planting, add a bucket of humus, 20-30 g of superphosphate, 15 g of potassium chloride, 10 g of ammonium nitrate per 1 m2. Planting in spring gives the onion an opportunity to take root, it grows rapidly, and by winter it accumulates nutrients. Bulbs are planted before winter (in October - November). Spring planting of an early good harvest in the first year does not.

The onions are planted in an ordinary way, the row spacing is 40-45 cm, to a depth of 3-5 cm.For ease of care, when planting a multi-tiered onion, an interval of 3-4 cm is left between the plants. During the growing season, care consists in weeding, watering, loosening, feeding organic fertilizers.

These photos of growing multi-tiered onions show how to care for plants in your garden plot:

Cuts of feathers begin in early spring when they reach a height of 25-30 cm, you can, if necessary, cut off younger greens throughout the summer. The highest yield is given by 2-3-year-old plantations.

Bulbs and basal bulbs do not have a dormant period, therefore, after removing them from the plant, they can be planted immediately, before planting, the nests of the bulbs are divided into separate bulbs.

The cultivation and care of this type of onion in the off-season is carried out in hotbeds and greenhouses. This requires a temperature of only plus + 10 ... + 12 ° С. You need to store onions for forcing with a whole nest in the ground. They root well, branch out and form a green mass after 35-40 days. By means of pavement (solid) planting per 1 m2, 10-12 kg of bulbs will be required. The yield of green feathers is 13-18 kg per 1 / m2.

The value of this onion lies in the fact that, in comparison with others, it contains an increased amount of ascorbic acid (in the leaves - 50-75 mg, in the bulbs - 30-50 mg per 100 g of raw mass), a lot of essential oil. There are also vitamins B1, B2, PP, carotene. The phytoncidal activity of multi-tiered onions is also slightly higher than that of other perennial types of onions (batun, schnitt, slug).
