Growing and caring

Olin is recommended for breeding in an annual culture from seeds and a two-year culture from seedlings. The cultivar will grow best in fertile soil with neutral acidity. It should not be clogged with plant debris. Otherwise, the development of the bulbs will be greatly slowed down.

Do not plant this type of onion on clay and sandy soils, on soils with a high nitrogen content. Otherwise, the harvest will be very poor. Remember that the cultivar prefers well-lit, elevated areas on the plot. The culture is very demanding on sunlight, but at the same time it is difficult to tolerate heat. Just like other varieties, Olin will need regular watering.

In addition, the plant needs to be fed. Urea, potassium salt, phosphorus compounds are used as fertilizers. Remember that this onion does not react well to nitrogen.

Since the onion is an unpretentious and cold-resistant plant, it can be planted both in spring and autumn. It is necessary to properly prepare the planting material, competently prepare the garden bed and determine the timing of planting.

To grow a large and tasty onion crop, you need to take good care of it from planting to harvesting. Watering is an important part of outdoor crop care. Thanks to timely watering, the onion will be able to grow normally, form a bulb, and grow greens.

Without top dressing, the bulbs will grow small, and the greens will not be lush. At different stages, it should be fed with different substances. The vegetable needs organic and mineral feeding.

Also, this onion is sometimes affected by root rot. In this case, yellow spots of different sizes also appear on the leaves. Copper sulfate is used to combat fungal diseases (2 tablespoons per 20 liters of water). It can be combined with laundry soap for a more effective result.

Onion fly often settles on plants. The insect lays the larvae on the leaves. They eat into the vegetation itself, thus slowing down its development. To destroy the pest, mulching is carried out, and then treatment with a chemical preparation (Fitoverm).

Such onions can also be damaged by nematodes. In appearance, they resemble small worms that actively feed on plant juices. The appearance of thrips on the culture leads to the fact that the scaly surface on the bulbs becomes wrinkled, and the aboveground part turns yellow. To combat these parasites, ready-made chemical preparations are also used.

Despite the fact that the onion is a very useful plant, capable of repelling and killing many microbes and bacteria, it itself is often damaged and suffers from various misfortunes. Diseases and pests of onions can significantly reduce the yield. It is necessary to correctly determine the presence of this or that disease and take appropriate measures in time.
