If the seedlings are too high, cut off part of the tip so as not to be broken or lodged by the wind.

In the peak period, 10 kg of calcium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, magnesium fertilizer or 25 kg potassium chloride fertilizer should be applied to each mu of land. When it comes to the bulb expansion period, 10 kg of potash fertilizer or 20 kg of compound fertilizer should be applied per mu.
