When is the best time to sow onion seeds?

Onion seed sowing time

Onion is a vegetable plant, which is usually sown in spring from March to April. At that time, the temperature gradually rises and the light is relatively sufficient. The germination rate after sowing is also relatively high. When sowing, it is necessary to water it in time to keep the soil moist, which is more conducive to seed germination.

Onion seed planting method and steps

1. Seeds: When sowing onions, you need to use high-quality and full seeds, so that the germination rate will be higher. Before sowing, you need to germinate the seeds. You need to soak the seeds in warm water at about 30-40 degrees. After about 24 hours, you can take them out and dry them.

2. Soil: When sowing onion seeds, you need to use loose, fertile, and well-breathing nutrient soil, and apply some decomposed fertilizer appropriately to promote germination. After deep plowing the soil, you can sow them.

3. Sowing: When sowing onion seeds, you can use a scattering method to evenly spread the seeds in the soil, then cover them with a layer of fine soil, and water them appropriately to provide the seeds with sufficient moisture.

4. Maintenance: After sowing, it needs to be placed in a warm and ventilated place for maintenance. During the maintenance period, it needs to be watered appropriately and the temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees. The seedlings will emerge after a period of time.
