Do a soil drench in the nursery by combining 50 gm of Pyramid with 10 gm of Loyalty and 20 ml of Optimizer in 20 L of water.

After sowing, water the nursery bed twice a day for ten days straight before continuing to water it regularly every evening or morning, depending on the weather.
Remove mulch and create a shade structure over the tender plants because germination takes around 7 days.

Transplanting

After seeding, seedlings are transplanted six to eight weeks later when they are 15 cm tall and have reached pencil thickness.
When seedlings have three to five well-formed leaves, transplant.
Reduce the amount of shade two weeks prior to transplanting to increase seedling survival rates in the field. NB: Three days prior to transplanting, spray Optimizer at a rate of 20 ml/20L of water to reduce transplant shock. Optimizer is a biostimulant and foliar fertilizer that controls crop stress, enhances crop immunity, and promotes the general growth of onion crops.

It takes 3 months for Red Coach F1 to reach complete physiological development.

Harvesting

When the foliage wilts or a shiny membranous covering forms around the bulbs, onions are ready to be harvested. Harvesting is done by carefully removing the bulbs from the soil and chopping off the leaves during the dry season or by grouping the onions and hanging them up in an open area for about a week until all the outer leaves are nicely dried so that the bulbs can be easily pulled from the bunched.

Storage

Avoid storing just picked bulbs on the ground as this increases humidity and the likelihood of rotting. Store onions in loose bags or nets in a well-built storage facility.
