Characteristics of Sturon Planting Onions

Maturity: Sturon planting onions 14/21 are early to mid-early ripening, specifically developed to provide growers with a fast and flexible harvest cycle. Their early maturity is crucial for maximizing productivity in short growing seasons or in climates where weather conditions can change rapidly. This fast ripening enables multiple growing cycles per year in favorable conditions, allowing growers to increase their yield and diversify their farming operations. Early harvests are particularly beneficial for markets that prioritize freshness, giving growers the opportunity to sell their produce when demand and prices are at their peak.

Disease Resistance:The high disease resistance of Sturon 14/21 planting onions plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable and less chemically dependent agriculture. This variety is resistant to a wide range of common diseases, significantly reducing the need for chemical crop protection products. Higher disease resistance not only minimizes the use of pesticides and fungicides, but also lowers production costs and reduces the labor intensity of cultivation. Additionally, this contributes to a healthier crop, resulting in a more reliable and high-quality end product. For growers operating under strict limitations on synthetic chemicals, this natural disease resistance is invaluable.

Coverage per kg:With Sturon planting onions 14/21, which can cover approximately 5 square meters per kilogram, both home gardeners and commercial farmers can optimize their cultivation area. This efficient space usage allows for better land utilization and the potential for higher total yields per square meter.

Composition

100% natural and untreated Sturon planting onions, meeting strict quality standards. These onions are carefully selected and cultivated to ensure the highest purity and quality, free from genetic modifications and harmful organisms. They are an excellent choice for growers seeking reliable and natural products. Perfect for those who value healthy and responsible cultivation practices.

Instructions for Use

Soil Preparation:Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting to enhance soil fertility. Ideally, the soil pH should be between 6.0 and 6.8 for optimal growth.
Planting:Plant the onions in rows, maintaining a 30 cm spacing between rows and a planting depth of 2-3 cm, as soon as the soil becomes workable in early spring. Leave 10-15 cm of space between onions to allow adequate room for growth.
Care:Implement a regular irrigation schedule to maintain consistent moisture levels, especially during dry periods. Apply an additional nitrogen-rich fertilizer midway through the growing season to promote onion growth and bulb size.
Harvesting:Harvest the onions when approximately 75% of the foliage has naturally fallen and turned yellow. Avoid damaging the onions during harvesting. If weather conditions permit, allow the onions to dry in the field for a few days before storing.

Storage

Store onions in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent sprouting. Ensure good air circulation to maximize shelf life and maintain quality.
