The best varieties onions domestic and foreign selection, as well as F1 hybrids, give a good harvest only if proper cultivation. Agricultural technology for cultivating varietal onions comes down to choosing the right variety of vegetables, depending on the climatic conditions of the region, timely loosening of the soil, and sufficient watering. The best varieties of onions are responsive to soil fertility in the country, which depends on the application of fertilizers, and temperature conditions. Large bulbs can be obtained with good soil aeration.

Depending on the preferences of the summer resident - gardener, you can choose to plant on suburban area varieties of onions with a spicy or sweet taste, early, mid-late or late varieties of vegetables, multi-cavity, medium-cavity or small-cavity. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, you need to find out which varieties are the best, and you need to study them qualitative characteristics. Having studied the variety of varieties, you can choose for growing in your suburban dacha the one that will give a good harvest in accordance with the quality of the soil and climatic conditions (and onions will also help save cucumbers growing nearby from bacteriosis).

Subspecies of onions

1. Southern onion is the most heat-loving subspecies. When growing vegetables in cold regions, the variety of this subspecies loses its sweetness.

2. Northern onions are unpretentious and cold-resistant.

3. White onions grow well at moderate temperatures and their main value is that they do not leave a smell after eating.

Each subspecies has its own successful varieties, so before growing and choosing onions, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics.

According to the ripening period, onions are:

early - the growing season lasts 90 days,
average - about 110 days pass from planting to harvesting vegetables,
late - vegetables ripen after 4 months.

Based on the number of bulbs that appear and the strength of branching, onion varieties are divided into:

multi-cavity varieties form more than 5 bulbs,
medium-nested - from 2 to 3 fruits are formed in one place,
small-nesting - up to 2.

Depending on the taste, onions are:

sharp,
semi-sharp,
sweet in taste.

From cultural species onions are the most common. It is not very rich in vitamins. True, green onions contain much more vitamin C than onions; they contain more potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron salts. But the main advantage of all types of onions is the essential oils that stimulate gastric secretion, increase appetite, and, finally, phytoncides - fierce enemies of bacteria.

Using one or another growing technology, onions can be grown in one year from nigella seeds and in two years from.

For annual onion crops, the seeds are sown as soon as the soil allows in March. The time from sowing to emergence is 21 days. They accelerate the emergence of seedlings by pre-sowing heat treatment of seeds, soaking them, including in growth stimulants. During seed germination and after the appearance of the fifth leaf, onions must be watered. If there is a lack of moisture in the soil, leaf growth stops and small, underdeveloped bulbs are formed, even if there are only 2-3 true leaves. The plant then goes into a dormant state. This phenomenon in onions is irreversible. Therefore, violation of agricultural technology for growing onions in open ground, especially in the first 70-80 days of growth, can lead to large yield losses.

For successful cultivation for onions, the seeds are sown in rows, the distance between them is 20-25 cm, the planting depth is 2-3 cm. It is useful to mulch the onion crops with humus, which prevents the appearance of a soil crust, retains moisture in the soil, which promotes the appearance of friendly shoots.

At first, onion seedlings grow very slowly; they need to be watered and loosened. Loosening should not be deep (4-5 cm) so as not to damage the root system.

When 1-2 true leaves appear, the first thinning of the crops (up to 1.5-2 cm) is carried out in very dense places, removing weaker plants. After the formation of 3-4 leaves, a second thinning is made to a final distance of 4-6 cm.

When growing and caring for onions, thinning, as well as watering, should not be late. Otherwise, thickening and dry soil accelerate the formation of small bulbs with insufficient leaves.

To grow onions through sets, healthy bulbs are used. After winter storage, the sets are sorted out before planting. If in the previous year, during cultivation, the plants were affected by downy mildew, the seedlings should be heated for 8 hours at a temperature of +40...+42 °C 10-15 days before planting for disinfection. Heat, in addition, will help reduce bolting of plants.

The seeds are planted without deepening them in April in warm soil. Too much early boarding causes the formation of shoots, later ones reduce the yield. The arrows that appear break out.

The video “Growing Onions” shows all the basic agricultural techniques:

Pay attention to the photo - when growing and caring for onions, when the bulbs are filled, the soil or mulching material is raked away from them so that the ripening crop is exposed to the sun:

In the photo the soil is being raked
Growing onions in the photo

2-3 weeks before the expected date for harvesting the onions, watering should be stopped, the bulbs should ripen well. A sign that onions are ready for harvest is massive lodging of leaves. Clean in dry weather.

Traditional varieties of onions for turnips are varieties with large flattened or spherical bulbs that can be stored all winter. The color of the scales varies from almost white to bright red; the taste of the onion ranges from soft to hot. Most varieties are planted in the spring, but there are varieties that are planted in the fall and harvested at the end of July the following year. In the south, with mild winters, varieties of Japanese selection are the most reliable when planting before winter, but they are unsuitable for long-term storage.

Remember!

Onions grown for harvest are not treated with any pesticides.
Leaves are not cut off from onions planted to produce turnips.
A good onion harvest can only be obtained in a sunny place, free from roots. perennial plants(trees and shrubs).
Onions grown from seeds store better. Turnip onions with yellow or dark red skin are especially well stored.
From sets stored at temperatures from +1°C to +18°C (continuously or periodically), plants quickly start to sprout.

More early ripening, more productive, characterized by greater density, transportability and keeping quality compared to onions. The bulbs are frost-resistant; they can freeze and thaw without damage, maintaining the ability to regrow. Practically does not shoot.

The bulbs are multi-budded (magpie), from one bulb you can get a nest weighing up to 500 g, containing up to 40 bulbs of 15-30 g each, depending on the variety. Valued for its special pungent taste, it is considered the best bow for cooking. Bulbs for planting are stored in a cool, bright place.

Shallots are usually propagated vegetatively, that is, by dividing the bulb into segments. When planted in autumn, the magpie gives a large number of seeds Propagating shallots through seeds has health benefits. This onion has more delicate leaves than onions. From 30 to 35 leaves are formed on the bulb, which is 3-4 times more than that of a turnip. They ripen 1-1.5 months earlier than the last one.

Mainly cultivated for production early greens in open and protected ground. Small onion-lobes are planted in grooves 4-6 cm deep, the distance between them in the row: for turnips - 8 cm, for greens - 4 cm, row spacing is the same as for onions.

When growing shallots in protected soil in winter, you must remember that shallots have a deep dormant period. Therefore, before planting the bulbs, it is necessary to cut the neck to the shoulders and warm it in water for 2-3 hours at a temperature of +40...+45°C.

Shallots require significantly less watering than onions, which is very important in places with a lack of irrigation water. Otherwise, care is the same as for onions.

Chives in the photo

Chives - perennial herbaceous plant, giving a good harvest of greenery all year round. In open ground, it can be grown in one place for four to five years. This plant can be grown in greenhouses and even indoors. Chives are very tender, mildly spicy and aromatic. They contain vitamin C, carotene, sugar, essential oils, and mineral salts. By chemical composition This is one of the most valuable vegetable onions; it surpasses onions in calorie content. In spring it grows very quickly and forms a large green mass.

To obtain the highest yield, it is best to grow chives in moist, weed-free soils. It can be grown by sowing seeds in open ground in early spring with a seeding depth of 0.5-1 cm or vegetatively by dividing bushes. The bushes are planted at a distance of 20 cm from each other, divided once every 3-4 years. With prolonged cultivation of more than four years, 50-60 daughter plants are formed in the bush, the leaves become small, and the yield decreases. Chives, after the seeds ripen in June, grow back and produce good greens in the second half of summer and autumn.

When growing chives, plant care includes loosening, watering, and weeding. Water regularly; best condition for growth - a sunny place. Young greens are harvested several times during the growing season. The leaves are cut at a height of 2 cm above the soil level. If you are interested in having greens throughout the season, cut off the leaves entirely rather than pinch off the tops, and do not allow the onions to bloom.

It is possible to use this type of bow as decorative culture, as it forms openwork spherical inflorescences of pink or purple color.

Leeks in the photo

This type of onion resembles garlic in appearance. But this is only a superficial resemblance. The leaves are flat, folded along the central vein, up to 50-60 cm long. It does not form bulbs; the leaves and dense bleached stem (leg) are used for food.

Leeks are one of the most valuable types of onions. It has excellent taste and produces fresh herbs until frost. This culture does not have a pungent smell or taste. Its aroma is more delicate, and its taste is subtler, more pleasant, sweeter than that of onions. Leeks contain vitamins C, E, B1, B2, PP.

As you can see in the photo, this type of onion is used as salad greens:

Leeks are one of the most valuable types of onions (photo)
Leeks are used as salad greens (photo)

The lower leaves form a false stem 10-30 cm long, 2-5 cm in diameter. Leeks are also canned, salted, pickled, dried, and frozen.

An important property of leeks is that during winter storage there is not a decrease, but a significant increase in the content of vitamin C in the stem due to outflow from the leaves.

Leeks are grown both by seedlings and by sowing seeds in the ground. The time from sowing to emergence of seedlings is 14-18 days. Seeds remain viable for 3 years.

This is a very moisture-loving plant, so one of the conditions for growing leeks is to provide the plants with enough water. The culture is very demanding on soil fertility. If in the fall they are not brought in for digging organic fertilizers(10 kg of humus per 1 m2), then during the growing season you should fertilize with infusion of mullein or chicken droppings.

A distinctive feature of caring for leeks during cultivation is that in the second half of summer (July, August) it must be hilled 2-3 times. This event allows you to get a long, tender, well-bleached leg. Although leek leaves grow until late autumn, harvesting should not be delayed, especially if the onion is intended for storage.

IN warm years Leeks overwinter well in open ground.

The video of growing leeks shows all the basic agricultural techniques:

"Russian Winter"- mid-season, winter-hardy variety. This one of the best varieties of onion is cultivated in both annual and perennial culture. The taste is semi-sharp, the leaves are tender. For a perennial crop - 2-3 cuttings of green feathers per summer.

When growing and caring for onions, keep in mind that they are light-loving, cold-resistant plant. Tolerates spring frosts down to -10°C. Plant development begins in spring at a temperature of +2°C. It can grow in one place for 4-5 years. With regular cleaning, the leaves will grow throughout the summer.

The plant is propagated by seeds and by dividing the bush. Planting and caring for onions can be done during spring and summer. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. When propagated by dividing the bush, one plant produces 5-7 daughter plants per year. It is better to replant at the end of August - September, the leaves are cut so as not to cover the growing point. After planting, when growing onions, watering is required.

Multi-tiered onion in the photo

Multi-tiered onions are one of the types of perennial onions. Outwardly, it looks like onion and batun. Just like onions, this type of onion forms fist-shaped leaves and a true basal bulb. Its main difference from batun and onion is the structure of the flower arrow.

Look at the photo - the arrow of a multi-tiered onion ends not with flowers, but with airy bulbs located in 3-4 tiers:

The arrow of a multi-tiered bow ends in air bulbs (photo)
The largest aerial bulbs (bulbs) in the photo

The largest aerial bulbs (bulbs) are located on the 1st tier, the smallest are on the 3rd and 4th. It does not form seeds; it reproduces only vegetatively - by aerial bulbs and basal bulbs by dividing the bush. Grows in one place for 4-5 years. Very winter hardy. Tolerates frosts down to -40 °C.

For multi-tiered onions, all parts of the plant (leaves, root bulbs and bulbs) are eaten, fresh or canned. They are used as a seasoning for first and second courses, in the preparation of meat and vegetable hash, various salads, and marinades. The green leaves of this onion are good design for snack dishes (cold fish, caviar, mushrooms, etc.).

To grow multi-tiered onions, by digging up the soil before planting, add a bucket of humus, 20-30 g of superphosphate, 15 g of potassium chloride, 10 g of ammonium nitrate. Spring planting allows the onion to take root, it grows quickly, and by winter it accumulates nutrients. Bulbs are also planted before winter (October - November). Spring planting does not produce an early good harvest in the first year.

Onions are planted in a row, row spacing is 40-45 cm, to a depth of 3-5 cm. For ease of care, when planting multi-tiered onions, an interval of 3-4 cm is left between plants. During the growing season, care consists of weeding, watering, loosening, fertilizing organic fertilizers.

These photos of growing multi-tiered onions show how to care for plants on personal plot:

In multi-tiered onions, all parts of the plant are eaten (photo)

Feather cuttings begin in early spring when they reach a height of 25-30 cm; if necessary, younger greenery can be cut throughout the summer. The highest yield is produced by 2-3 year old plantings.

Bulbs and basal bulbs do not have a dormant period, therefore, having been removed from the plant, they can be planted immediately; before planting, the bulb nests are divided into separate bulbs.

Growing and caring for onions of this type in the off-season period is carried out in greenhouses and hothouses. This requires a temperature of only +10...+12°C. You need to store onions for forcing as a whole nest in the ground. They take root well, branch and form green mass in 35-40 days. By pavement (solid) planting, 10-12 kg of bulbs will be required per 1 m2. The yield of green feathers is 13-18 kg per 1/m2.

The value of this onion lies in the fact that, compared to others, it contains an increased amount of ascorbic acid (in leaves - 50-75 mg, in bulbs - 30-50 mg per 100 g of wet weight), and a lot of essential oil. There are also vitamins B1, B2, PP, carotene. The phytoncidal activity of multi-tiered onions is also slightly higher than that of others perennial species onions (batun, chives, slime).

What types of onions are there?

A ripe vegetable bulb, with a dry husk tightly adjacent to it, weighs up to 130 grams, has a round shape. The pulp is snow-white, pleasant to the taste, with a pronounced pungency. The growing season is 140 days. Depending on storage conditions, the variety can be stored for up to 9 months. With good care and timely watering, the yield is high. It is zoned in the Volga region and the North Caucasus. The best variety of late ripening bulbs.

Alliums are perhaps one of the oldest families of vegetables known to man. We encountered various representatives of the onion family different peoples, in their places of permanent residence. But the most common and famous onion plant on earth has become the onion. And all because he was born on the mountain spurs of the distant Pamirs. Where there are long winters, very dry and hot summers. Therefore, in order not to die, it had to store a supply of substances in thick leaf ends called scales, and the whole thing was called an onion. That is why it was able, with the help of humans, to significantly expand its growing area from the Arkhangelsk region to the Kalmyk steppes. True, two types of onions have emerged: northern (grows well in long days and white nights), and southern (in one year, with short days, a marketable turnip is obtained). The divisions according to ripening dates are arbitrary and give general concept time required to obtain marketable bulbs.
