Things Farmers Ignore When Growing Onions

• Onions do well in well-drained fertile soils rich in humus with pH ranging from 5.8 to 6.5.

• Onions can be grown by direct seeding, which requires intensive management or a farmer can first establish a nursery bed.

• It is always wise to do a soil test before planting to know the status of nutrients in the soil which will guide the farmer on nutrient application.

• Onions can be grown in a greenhouse or in the open field depending on the location, with the latter being more preferred.
