It is no secret that in order to obtain a good harvest from any plant grown on a plot, a certain place is required.
For example, for onions, such a place should be a location with light, loose and fertile soil, abundant in organic matter and microelements.
And, conversely, you should not plant this plant in acidic, saline or swampy soil.
In addition, it is not recommended to “prescribe” it where garlic, turnips, beets, carrots, radishes and some other plants were previously grown.
The most suitable predecessors for onions are peas, beans, cabbage, mustard, oats, wheat, barley, rye, etc.
However, the best place, as reported by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is considered to be where mustard previously grew.
This crop enriches the soil with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and microelements.
In addition, mustard releases phytoncides that suppress fungi, bacteria and nematodes.
If you plant onions where mustard previously grew, you will provide it with everything it needs for normal development.
At the same time, the onion will grow quickly and will delight you with a rich harvest of large and juicy bulbs.
For reference
Onion is a perennial herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Onion, subfamily Onion, family Amaryllis, a widespread vegetable crop.
