Extended information:

The pH value of the soil for green onion planting is suitable for 6.5 to 7.5. The moisture in the soil can be controlled about 10 to 15 days before planting to prevent lodging. Fertilizing green onions requires a balanced application of phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen fertilizers. In the early stages of growth, the demand for nitrogen fertilizers is mainly high, and in the later stages of growth, the demand for phosphorus and potassium fertilizers is greater. Green onions have good stress resistance and are both cold and heat tolerant. The root system of green onions is more afraid of waterlogging, and high temperatures and high humidity can easily cause death. Before planting green onions, separate the large and small seedlings first, and then remove the sick and weak seedlings. When planting, you can arrange the green onion leaves vertically to the cultivated plot for dense planting and easier management.
