Description

Please open the polythene inside the container a little from one corner and take out 100 to 200 sample seeds. Check the germination capacity of those seeds. The entire seed should be used only when the germination capacity of the seed is satisfied. It is advised not to use whole seeds without testing the germination capacity of the sample.

Onions are spherical in shape, medium to large in size, light red in colour, medium to fast in food,  and have a storage capacity of 9 to 10 months. The variety is ready in 110 to 130 days from planting and gives a yield of about 600 to 800 quintals per hectare.

Favourable Areas : Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and regions with mild climate.

Soil: Soil with good drainage of water, friable, full of dung manure, medium to strong soil is considered good for onions.

Sowing time: The right time to plant is recommended by the rabbi (from September to the end of November). Seedlings should be planted when the seedlings are 40 to 45 days old.

Seed quantity: 7 to 8 kg seeds per hectare.

Nursery preparation: Seed treatment should be done with 2 grams of thyrum per kg. For good germination, plough the nursery space, plough it, cover it with polythene for 10 to 15 days and make it pest-free or for every 100 square meters of space, mix 25 grams of Trichoderma kiridi mixture, mix 1250 grams of cooked dung manure and mix it in the nursery place. Mix the soil well with manure and nutritious manure in it. Prepare a nursery of 10 rupees (half a bigha) for planting 1 hectare of onions.

Or mix 4 to 5 carts of cow dung manure, 2.5 kg of nutra and 5 kg of spur (SSP) on this land and make a 3 meter long 1 meter wide cart and sow it at a distance of 5 cm and at a depth of 2 cm. Seedlings should be planted when the seedlings are 6 to 7 weeks old.

Preparation of the soil: The  land should be ploughed and well friable. 20 Tonnes of rotten manure per hectare + 50 kg of manure Natra 50 km Fur 50 km Potash 20 kg Sulphur 10 k.p. S. B. Mix well.   Prepare a muddy or flat bed according to the slope of the field, type of land, source of water, etc.

Planting: Choose uniform and healthy seedlings and plant them at a depth of 3 to 4 cm at a distance of 15 cm from the rows and 10 cm from the plants. After that, give light water.

Watering should be done at an  interval of 10 to 12 days in the Kharip season.  The watering interval can be increased or reduced by taking into account the type of soil, slope and temperature and humidity in the weather. There is no shortage of water during onion tuber development, but excessive water is harmful to onions.

Medicine: Give  25 kg of nuts per hectare in 3 to 4 weeks and 6 to 7 weeks after planting. If the seedlings are weak, spray 1% DAP 0.5% Magnesium Sulphate twice at an interval of 8 to 10 days.

For good growth of the plant, 1% NPK should be given in 15, 30 and 45 days. (19:19:19) and apply 1% NPK in 60 to 75 days. (13:00:45) and after 90 days 1% NPK. (00:00:50).

Plant Protection: Onions are mainly attacked by scorch disease and shrimps pests. For shrimps, Fipronil 0.5 ml or Deltamethrin 0.4 ml or Profenofos 2 ml per liter of water should be sprayed twice a day at an interval of 10 days. For scorch disease, spray Bavistin or Dithane M-45 at the rate of 500 grams per acre. Spraying Bavistin 0.1% 10 and 20 days before digging the onion can help in storing onions for a long time. If you see any other diseases or pests, contact the nearest medical center or medical assistant.

Digging of onions: When the neck of the onion (ganji) is soft, the onion plant starts falling, which is a sign that the time for digging has come. Then turn off the water. Dig the onion in a slight softening state. Cover it with leaves in the same bed and dry it for 2 to 3 days. After drying, chop the onion leaves.

Conservation: Onion should be stored in an open, ventilated and low temperature place with shade.

Tip: Onion crop is very sensitive to cloudy or adverse weather and is prone to disease, so consult experts from time to time.
