The best varieties of onions

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 planting is larger, and the fertility and moisture content of the soil 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 by hand, 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.

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 prevents the seedlings from stretching 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 the open field and get good results. But if you want to get the maximum yield in a small area, and such that it is worthy of 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. In this case, 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 provide 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.
