Any summer resident should remember this: onion feathers should remain a juicy green color for as long as possible.
If they begin to wither and turn yellow, then you need to establish the correct cause.
As a rule, three main ones are distinguished, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What do they consist of?
Watering
Most often, the appearance of dry and yellowish feathers indicates one thing: the onion lacks moisture. Therefore, it is worth remembering how you organize watering.
As a rule, the culture likes a large volume of water, but it should be added rarely.
Onion fly
This is a very dangerous pest that can easily leave you without an onion crop. Therefore, it is worth considering prevention options in advance.
Most often, experienced gardeners choose the neighborhood of carrots and onions. In this case, you can forget about the pest.
Nitrogen
Another common cause of yellow feathers is a lack of nitrogen. Therefore, it is worth adding any specialized or complex fertilizer.
