If you want to have a significant impact on the quality of your onion crop, it is important to take a responsible approach to applying the final fertilizer.
This helps the onions store much better.
If you calculate the time of application of nutrients correctly, the onion can still increase in size. It is best to feed the plant a month before harvesting, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
What should be the final feeding of onions?
Ash
This is a good option for the last feeding of onions. It is not difficult to prepare the product. As a rule, take a glass of ash for ten liters of water and insist the composition for 24 hours.
There is no need to dilute the fertilizer with additional water before watering.
Potassium nitrate
This industrial fertilizer has already established itself on the positive side. The consumption of the product is minimal: to prepare a bucket of the product, take only one large spoon of saltpeter.
