Cultivate onions with this method, you will never suffer loss

Onion Cultivation: Nowadays, Chhatarpur farmers continue to prioritize growing onions as a Rabi season crop. Nearly every farmer has successfully transplanted onions. The quality of onions is improved, and production is increased by timing irrigation and watering according to soil type.

The ideal time to water and transplant onions

First watering after seeding: As soon as onions are planted, the field has to be watered.

Time needed for irrigation: Onion crops require three to four waterings in total.

Twenty days following transplantation is the first watering.

Next irrigation: Every month after that.

Watering is required every 15 to 20 days when there is intense sunlight.

Distance in the field:

Distance between plants: 10 cm.

Distance between rows: 15 cm.

The soil determines Irrigation

The field’s soil type determines the amount and timing of irrigation.

Garhwal soil:

This soil holds water for a long time and is heavy.

It only needs to be watered once a month.

Soil of the Chukrili type:

It is lightweight and has a brief water retention period.

It has to be watered every fifteen days.

Marlowe soil:

Black soil produces fewer onions.

Soil from Padhua:

More onions are produced on soil that contains gram flour and yellow.

Weather’s impact on onion crops

Rain: When it rains, the soil becomes more moist, lowering the requirement for irrigation.

Strong sunshine causes the soil to dry up fast in the summer, thus watering should be spaced out by 15 to 20 days.

How many days does it take to prepare the onion crop?

The preparation of the onion crop takes roughly four months. Onion digging is finished by April following transplantation. Gaya Pal previously claimed to have grown 125 tons of onions on one bigha of land.

Ideas for boosting output

Timely irrigation: Make sure you irrigate at the appropriate time and amount.

Select the proper soil: Padhua soil yields superior onions.

Pay attention to the weather: Plan your irrigation for when it will rain and shine.

Appropriate spacing between plants: Increasing productivity is aided by appropriate spacing.
