Onions are an unpretentious crop, but this does not mean that you can forget about caring for the beds.
It is important to water the plants, protect them from diseases and pests, and remove weeds that can deprive the onions of useful elements from the soil.
In addition, it is important to apply additional fertilizers throughout the season to get an excellent harvest. It is the issue of applying additional funds that is worth considering in more detail.
A good fertilizer is one that is applied on time.
But not every newbie in gardening knows this.
For example, in the first summer month, it is no longer worth adding nitrogen fertilizers. Such products are suitable in the spring, when you need to help the plant build up green mass.
If it was decided to apply complex NPK fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), then it is better to choose one with a small proportion of nitrogen in the composition.
In June, onions need potassium. Thanks to this element, the fruits will be strong and large. In addition, the product is responsible for heat resistance and excellent shelf life.
You can feed the plantings with monophosphate or potassium sulfate (up to 15-20 g/10 l).
