Transplanting Seedlings for Maximum Yield: Your onion seedlings are ready for transplanting approximately 4 weeks (40 days) after germination or when they reach the same thickness as a pencil. To prepare your seedlings for the transition, follow these key steps:
7-10 days before transplanting, gradually reduce watering and remove any shading to help the seedlings acclimate to direct sunlight.
Optimal transplanting times are early morning (6-10 am) or late afternoon (4-6 pm). Two hours prior to transplanting, water the nursery beds so you can remove each seedling with a small lump of soil.
Select the healthiest and strongest seedlings for transplanting. Weaker ones can remain in the nursery longer to bolster their growth.
Plant the seedlings with a 10 cm spacing between them, and maintain rows that are 30 cm apart. Plant each seedling in holes 1.5 cm deep, firming the soil around the seedling.
Weed Management and Nutrient Optimization: Weeds can threaten your crop by siphoning water and nutrients while also providing hiding spots for pests and diseases. To safeguard your onions: Regularly remove weeds as soon as they appear in your onion bed. Consider using herbicides for efficient weed control. Always follow the product instructions and wear protective gear when applying herbicides. When your onions are thriving, apply 120 kg of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) per acre. You can purchase CAN from local agrovets.
