Efficient cultivation techniques of Welsh Onion

Green onion is a kind of green onion, which can be divided into four types: common green onion, shallots, shallots and scallions. Spring onions taste pungent, slightly warm in nature, and have the function of releasing Yang, detoxifying and seasoning. Mainly used for cold, cold and fever, headache and nasal congestion, cold and abdominal pain, dysentery diarrhea, internal obstruction of insect accumulation, obstruction of milk, adverse stool and so on. Spring onion contains volatile oil, which is mainly composed of allicin, dienyl sulfide and calcium oxalate. In addition, it also contains fat, sugar, carotene, vitamin B, C, nicotinic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron and other ingredients. It is a perennial herb with cylindrical leaves, hollow in the middle, fragile and easy to fold.

Raising seedlings of scallions

1. Sowing time: it can be sown in four seasons according to different requirements of the product. The best sowing time for high-yield Welsh onion is autumn sowing (the ten-day average temperature is 16.5 ℃-17 ℃, which is in the first ten days of October). The climatic conditions in the north and south of the country are different, and the sowing time is also different. the best time to determine the size of the seedlings before overwintering is easy to bolt in spring through vernalization, but it is too small to survive the winter safely. The standard of seedlings before winter is to grow to two leaves with one heart. Spring sowing comes before and after Ching Ming Festival.

2. Arrange the seedbed: the seedbed should choose the land which is flat, fertile, close to the water source and convenient for drainage. The nursery land should be shallow ploughed and fine raked before the whole bed, so that the upper and lower parts are loose and solid. 50 kg compound fertilizer per mu as base fertilizer, 2.5 kg Fulandan per mu and 0.5 kg carbendazim powder to kill underground pests and germs (very important). The border is 20-25 meters long, 1 meter wide, and the border ridge is 30 centimeters. After stepping on the border, it is flattened repeatedly with an iron rake, without bumps.

3. Sowing: take out the cover soil from the border before sowing, then fill the border with enough water (the amount of irrigation must be large). After the water seeps, mix the seeds with sand and sprinkle twice in the border (sprinkle evenly), and finally cover the soil with a thickness of 1.5 cm-2 cm. Cover the soil evenly, the amount of seed used per mu of seedling field: 1.3 kg, can transplant 3-5 mu of scallions, and the next morning, hug the border surface with iron rake. Prevent the soil from being uneven.

Seedling stage management

1. The seedlings emerge after 7 days of autumn sowing and 8-12 days of spring sowing. Before the cotyledons are straightened, the cotyledons are watered to avoid hardening and silting seedlings. During the rain, the ground can be lightly scratched by iron rakes. When watering the first water, wait for the cotyledons to straighten. For weeding (herbicides cannot be used), the seedling grows to about 2 cm. When it is about straight, it is necessary to use medicine in time to prevent fungal diseases. Generally, it is sprayed every 5 days (mainly for the treatment of dead root rotten seedlings, virus and Botrytis cinerea). After the seedling grows to more than 5 cm, urea can be used to lift the seedling in time according to the soil fertility.

2. Before winter, we should mainly cultivate strong seedlings, its standard: the plant height is 8-10 cm, the true leaves reach two leaves in one heart, the leaves are green and robust, and the diameter of the base is not more than 0.3 cm. During this period, the humidity of the base area can be irrigated with 1-3 water, and before freezing, it is suitable to cover a layer of soil, miscellaneous fertilizer, plant ash or fine circle fertilizer, and its thickness is not exposed to the leaf sheath on the ground.

3. After sowing the Beginning of Spring seedlings in autumn, the roots, hearts and leaves of spring onion seedlings began to sprout, and the border surface was hugged to remove sundries to prevent pressing seedlings, so as to achieve moisturizing, warming and early growth. Watering green water in early March, but not easy to early, lest low temperature affect the early growth of onion seedlings, can be combined with watering 10 kg urea per mu to promote seedlings. From late March to early April, the height of the seedling was about 30 cm, and the interseedling was carried out for 1-2 times to keep the seedling spacing 3-5 cm. The height of seedlings is about 50 cm from late April to early May, which is the prosperous period of onion seedlings. In order to do a good job in fertilizer and water management, urea, diammonium and compound fertilizer can be applied by stages, at least twice, mostly three times, 10-15 kg each time, and combined with spraying compound micro-fertilizer for 2-3 times. Medicine should be used in time to prevent fungal diseases, and special attention should be paid to the control of onion maggots, onion thrips and leafminers. Stop watering 15 days before transplanting and squat seedlings to facilitate steady growth.

Transplanting and planting

1. Select the land with high topography, good drainage and fertile soil, which is best in the north-south direction. The bottom fertilizer can be 5000 kg per mu of farm fertilizer, 100kg of phosphate fertilizer, 10kg of urea, 15kg of potash fertilizer, or 30kg of diamine. or 50 kg of compound fertilizer, and then ploughing and drying the soil to eliminate disease sources and weeds and improve fertility. Finally, the ditch is opened according to the ditch distance of 80 cm, ditch depth and width of about 25 cm.

2. It is suitable for early planting, generally from mid-June to early July, and should be watered once two days before seedling emergence. The roots should be deeply shaved, or lifted into handlebars, shaken off the soil, laid flat, and disabled seedlings and diseased seedlings should be eliminated. They are divided into three grades according to seedling size, height, height and thickness. In the case of seedling feet, third-grade seedlings are generally not used. It is necessary to keep the onion seedlings fresh when transplanting along with the grading and transplanting of onion seedlings. The suitable distance between transplanting plants is 3-4 cm.

3. Planting method

The main results are as follows: (1) dry planting method: after ditching, the onion seedlings are arranged on one side of the ditch wall according to a certain plant distance, and the onion leaves are flat against the ditch wall, and then cultivate the soil with hoe. It is advisable to cultivate the soil deep without burying the heart leaves, and step on it after planting. Or plant it at a certain distance with a shovel, and then step on it. After planting, water should be watered again, and it is best not to stay in the water.

(2) Water planting method: the selected seedlings are placed evenly on the back ridge, watered first in the ditch and infiltrated under water, and one person squats on the back of the ridge every 8-10 meters to cut. When cutting, the transplanting stick is made of peeled branches, with a "ⅴ" fork at the top, holding the seedling in the left hand and the transplanting stick in the right hand, using the fork to hold the whisker root of the onion seedlings, and take advantage of the soft soil at the bottom of the ditch to plant the onion seedlings directly. Different grades of seedlings should be planted in different plots or pieces, not juxtaposed in height and height, uneven in order to manage.

Post-planting management

Transplanting is in the hot season, high temperature and rainy, generally not watered, rain and rain will lead to rotten roots and dead seedlings, we should pay attention to timely drainage. In case of high temperature and drought, it is necessary to water to cool down and promote growth. As the onion continues to grow, we should cultivate the soil in time, top fertilizer, the final ridge height of 70-80 cm, can not bury the heart leaves when cultivating the soil. Topdressing and soil cultivation are carried out at the same time, the first time should start from the Beginning of Autumn, 5000 kg of farm manure per mu, 10-15 kg of urea, and watering after application. The second topdressing the End of Heat was carried out, applying 15-20 kg urea per mu and 50 kg cake fertilizer. The third topdressing was in White Dew, when onion white entered the peak period of expansion, and fertilizer and water management was the key. 1000 kg of human feces and urine, 15 kg of urea, 50 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 5-10 kg of potash fertilizer could be applied along the ditch, and finally watered, and the fourth topdressing was carried out in the Autumn Equinox. 10-15 kg urea per mu, soil watering. White Dew should be sprayed with compound micro-fertilizer before and after, usually once every 5-7 days, 2-3 times in succession, the yield increase effect is obvious.

Harvest and storage

Before and after the Beginning of Winter, spring onions can be collected and planed. After collecting and planing, put a bundle of 15kg in a cool and ventilated place, leaving 6 bundles in a row, leaving a 50 cm passage between the rows. In case of high temperature, it is necessary to unbind and dry, afraid of heat in storage, not afraid of cold, and guard against Rain Water.

Major diseases and insect pests

1. Leaf miner: it mainly harms the leaves, the larvae sneak into the skin to feed on the mesophyll, leaving the epidermis worm track, which is white and linear due to the loss of green.

2. Onion thrips: it mainly harms the leaves, sucking the mesophyll to form white spots, and in severe cases, the whole leaves are grayish white due to chlorosis.

3. Onion maggots: mainly harm scallion white, stem disk and root in the ground, causing stem rot and leaf withering, causing lack of seedlings and broken gong.

4. Green onion purple spot: harmful to green leaves, the disease spot gradually expands to 3-5 cm from the small white spot, showing a fusiform or jujube core shape, the largest spot is 6-7 cm long, slightly sunken is dark purple, so it is called purple spot disease.

5. Green onion downy mildew: the diseased plant is twisted and dwarfed, with large yellow-white, oval disease spots like water impregnation, and the leaves droop and dry.

6. Green onion rust: commonly known as anthrax, it is a destructive disease in green onion producing areas. The disease spot occurs on the surface of tubular leaves and flower stems, initially round, oval or spindle-shaped, upright with the direction of leaf veins, dark yellow gradually turning into orange-brown, raised, scattered, spots of different sizes. The diseased plants wilted, dried up, and even lodged, resulting in a reduction in yield.
