1. Site selection

When transplanting green onions, you must first choose a good planting site. It is best to choose a plot of land that has not been used to plant green onions within three years. After the plot is selected, the land must be prepared. The first step is to turn the soil over once, then clean up the debris in the plot, and then dig trenches from north to south and apply fertilizer in the trenches.

2. Digging seedlings

Before digging the seedlings, you need to water them first. The purpose of watering is to reduce damage to the root system when digging. It is best to dig deeper, but be sure not to damage the new roots. After digging the onion seedlings, the weak, disabled, and diseased seedlings should be eliminated. The onion seedlings should also be separated according to height, thickness, and size. After processing, they can be planted.

Management of green onion transplantation

The onion seedlings are relatively weak after planting, so they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight at this time. Appropriate shading treatment is required. After the onion seedlings resume growth, they can be exposed to light normally. If the soil is found to be slightly dry, it is necessary to replenish water in time. It is best to keep the soil moist. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the place is well ventilated.
