Growing a good harvest of onions is not easy. Onions can go to seed or start to rot during storage.
To prevent this from happening, you will need to select the appropriate seed material, the appropriate variety, and carry out appropriate pre-sowing treatment.
How to process onion sets
If you do not treat the seeds before planting, the chances of the bulb becoming infected with fungal and other diseases only increase.
There are various methods of disinfecting seeds. Folk remedies are mainly used.
Some gardeners prefer a solution of phytosporin to all similar new products.
Firstly, the solution is easy and convenient to prepare.
Secondly, there is no need to soak the sets.
Thirdly, overdosing on active ingredients is excluded, because the powder is dissolved according to the instructions, and the treatment is carried out using a spray bottle.
How to make a solution
You will need to dissolve 10 grams of phytosporin in 0.5 liters of water and carry out the treatment.
And to prevent the onion from going to seed, it needs to be dried near a heating device or in an open oven heated to 30 degrees Celsius.
