Onion and garlic

Onion and garlic

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.

WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system that provides the basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop.

 

SOILS: In pre-sowing application of SatoSoil® Soil improvers, the minimum rate is introduced, when autumn applying, the maximum rate is recommended. When applying SatoGrow® Biostimulants after SatoSoil® Soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied; if the soil hasn’t been treated, the maximum rate is applied. For irrigation, it’s recommended to activate granulates (soil improvers or biostimulants) with SatoHum® liquid formulations and SatoGrow® liquid organo-mineral biostimulants.

SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds formulation is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness.

GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin. It is not recommended to exceed the total applying dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season, starting from the germination/seedlings phase.

HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It’s not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
