Nutritional management measures while tubers formation in the 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.
  • Presently spray Paclobutrazol @ 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre as spray
  • Use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + Potash @ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment.
