Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in early March 50-60 days before landing in open ground. Seeds retain their germination for three years. It should be remembered that a floral escape with seeds is formed only for the next year. In this regard, plant reproduction is carried out only after winter. Before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked in water with a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius for three days. They are planted in the ground to a depth of about 2 cm, between the landing lines should be left about 4-5 cm of free space. The temperature regime for the period of seed germination should be about +20-22 ° C. Subject to these rules, the first shoots will appear on the 10-15th day. For planting in the ground, seedlings are ready when she had the first 3-4 real sheets, and the diameter of the stem itself should vary as a 6-8 mm limit. Before transplantation, the seedlings are abundantly watered. Before planting bulbs in open ground, their roots are shortened by about 3 cm, and the length of the stem is shortened at 1/3 of the sheet length. This will significantly increase productivity. It is better to remove the onion to frost. Do not cut powerful roots, and together with the leaves put in the sand in the cellar.
