To ensure high onion yields, it is necessary to add nutrients to the soil in a timely manner.

Any gardener knows this. However, not all gardeners know what fertilizers should be used.

The fact is that the plant “perceives” some fertilizers normally and “reacts” poorly to others.

To get a rich onion harvest, certain fertilizers must be applied in two stages.

First stage

It is advisable to carry out the first procedure after the onset of the two-leaf phase.

At this time, an infusion prepared from chicken manure will have a beneficial effect on garden crops.

Second stage

The next time you need to apply fertilizer is after two weeks.

It should be taken into account that at this time the onion needs a sufficient amount of potassium.

Unburned wood residues will help to replenish the deficiency of this element in the soil.

What fertilizers are dangerous for onions

The garden crop is unlikely to show full growth when fresh manure is added.

As for nitrogen fertilizers, they can also harm the plant. However, this only applies to the situation when there is too much nitrogen in the soil.
