Both onions and garlic are indispensable crops in vegetable growing. Plants are demanding on the agrophysical properties of soils, of the predecessors in the crop rotation, they respond better to cereals, worse to fodder and legumes, it’s strongly not recommended to plant after potatoes, tomatoes and other bulbs, since they have common diseases and pests.

Peculiarities
The own root system of bulbous plants is weak; therefore, a highly fertile layer of humus is needed for uniform seedling growth. SatoSoil® improvers have a beneficial effect on friability, moisture retention, reduce pathogenic environment and level the acid-base balance of the soil.
Regardless of the sowing method – sowing seeds or onion chive, air bulbs, garlic bulblets or cloves – seed treatment is necessary. For this purpose, potassium humate Sato® Seeds is used, which inhibits spreading pathogens and promotes unanimous and even seedlings. Experts say that the larger the chive and cloves, the higher the potential yield of onions and garlic.
Both onions and garlic need systemic feeding with organo-mineral fertilizers, both crops are sensitive to nitrogen and potassium starvation. Bulbs are susceptible to deficiencies in boron, zinc, magnesium and other micronutrients during the plumping and ripening stage. Foliar nutrition with preparations SatoHum® Complex, SatoHum® Ca, SatoHum® K-B-Mo corrects micronutrient deficiencies, promotes the synthesis of proteins and functional phytohormones, enhances the filling of bulbs, prolongs their shelf life.
Signs of nutrient deficiency
- slow growth, puny bulbs - lack of nitrogen and phosphorus;
- early wilting of old leaves, chlorosis and wrinkling - potassium starvation and a possible excess of nitrogen;
- yellowing along the entire length of the leaves - lack of magnesium;
- twisting of leaves and scapes - zinc deficiency;
- browning of the leaves, brittle scapes, bluish tints in the color of the leaves - a lack of boron.
