Application

Final population should be 750,000 to 950,000 plants per hectare.

For direct sowing, use 900,000 to 1,200,000 seeds per hectare (3.5-4.0 kg per hectare). For transplants, use 5.0-5.5 kg of seed per hectare.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place to maximize shelf life. Proper curing is essential to develop the distinctive red internal color.
• Ensure careful handling to avoid bruising, especially during transportation.

Special Requirements

Manage nitrogen-based fertilizers carefully, especially late in the growing season, due to the plant’s vigorous root system.

Proper curing is necessary to achieve the red internal color, as freshly harvested or green onions will initially have white flesh.
