Planting method of Seasonal Onion Nursery || Crop Reformer

Описание: In this video, we have discussed the seasonal onion nursery production technology for Punjab province. Its planting should be done after 2 nd weeks of October. Unlike off season onion, planting of seasonal nursery is very simple. One kg seed may either be planted in the beds or flat fields maintained in an area of three marla. Smaller 2.5 meter fields are irrigated and then onion seed is broadcasted.
Onion crop is likely to become an expensive commodity due to its complete failure in Sindh province. A huge acreage of onion is likely to be planted in Punjab during coming winter. Weeds are an important bottle neck in onion nursery crop. In this video, we have advised the onion growers about the pre emergence and post emergence chemical control of weeds from rice nursery. We have advised to spray Hadaf 24 ECھدف یا آکسی فن (oxyfluorfen) @ 40 ml/acre as pre emergence, @ 10 ml/acre as early post emergence and @ 50 ml/acre as post emergence (nursery of 20-25 days).
Onion is the most important vegetable/condiment crop of Pakistan. It is cultivated in large scale more or less throughout country. We have mentioned the summary of onion production Technology especially with reference to Punjab province. It has been mentioned that frequency of weeds, diseases and lack of storage facilities are considered as the major bottle neck in its profitable farming. As compared to the heavy and clayey soils, its cultivation is more successful in loam and sandy loam soils. Nasar Puri, Phulkara and Swat 1 are suggested as non-hybrid varieties. Out of a dozen of hybrids, Seminis 748 (Mehr M. Din & sons Gujranwala) and Melbak (Siddique Sons Faisalabad) are considered as the high performer varieties. Winner, Century and Jalal of Madina Seeds Gujranwala have also been performing well.
