Nutritional management at the time of tuber formation in onion crop

Nutritional management at the time of tuber formation in onion crop
  • Until three leaves do not emerge after germination, the crop grows slowly above the ground and in the soil.

  • Once the 3 leaves emerge, the growth of the crop accelerates. This development takes place within the soil.

  • Plants produce more leaves to increase photosynthetic activity and store the materials needed to make bulbs.

  • Nutritional management in plants at this stage is important for bulb formation, crop development, and the beginning of final yield.

  • Use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + Potash @ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment.

  • Spray Paclobutrazol 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre 100 days after transplanting.
