Onions are an unpretentious crop that is easy to grow in your own garden.

But you can increase the quality and improve the quantity of the harvest if you know a few tricks.

As gardeners note, before planting, seeds should be soaked in a salt solution for three hours.

For one liter of water you should take only one tablespoon of the product. After that, it is advisable to leave the onion in the manganese solution for two hours for another two hours.

Such simple procedures will guarantee good fruiting.

It is also necessary to take measures to prevent the appearance of onion flies.

To do this, you need to water the beds with warm water as soon as the first leaf appears. Next, you need to make a solution from a bucket of water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia. After 2 weeks, the procedure must be repeated. To do this, take only 1 tablespoon of salt per liter of water. After another week and a half, you should water the beds with a strong solution of potassium permanganate.

In addition, additional feeding is needed. You need to take 100 grams of yeast per bucket of clean water. The remedy is infused for an hour. First, the beds should be watered with clean water, and only then should you start feeding the onions. A day later, the beds should be watered again with clean water.

The last rule for a quality harvest is that after harvesting, the onions must be dried in the sun.
