Sure! Here's a basic overview of onion farming, including key steps and tips:

1. Selecting a Variety

Choose a variety suited to your climate and market demand:

Short-day onions (e.g., Texas Grano, Red Creole) for warmer climates.

Long-day onions (e.g., Walla Walla, Yellow Sweet Spanish) for cooler climates.

Intermediate-day onions for in-between zones.


2. Site Selection and Soil Prep

Onions prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.

Ensure good sunlight exposure.

Add organic compost or manure before planting.

Avoid water-logged areas.


3. Planting

Seeds, transplants, or sets can be used.

Spacing: 4–6 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart.

Best planted in early spring or fall (depending on the variety and region).


4. Care and Maintenance

Water deeply but infrequently (onions have shallow roots).

Use mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.

Fertilize with nitrogen-rich fertilizer early on, then reduce as bulbs mature.


5. Pest and Disease Management

Common issues: thrips, onion maggots, downy mildew.

Rotate crops and avoid planting onions in the same spot year after year.

Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if pests are spotted.


6. Harvesting

When tops fall over and start to dry, it's time to harvest.

Gently pull them out and cure in a dry, airy spot for 2–3 weeks.

Once dry, cut tops and roots, and store in a cool, dry place.


7. Storage

Ideal storage is in mesh bags or crates with good airflow.

Keep at 0–5°C with low humidity for best shelf life.
