Boost Onion Yields: 4 Key Rules from Nursery to Leaf Cutting for Bigger Bulbs

• Farmers in Koderma are turning to onion cultivation after a successful potato season, expecting good profits.
• Proper nursery management and thorough field preparation are crucial for successful onion farming, including making the soil friable and mixing in cow dung manure.
• Transplanting on raised beds with specific spacing (15 cm row-to-row, 10 cm plant-to-plant) ensures better drainage and bulb development.
• The traditional technique of 'leaf cutting' involves trimming the upper part of the seedling before transplanting to keep the plant upright and prevent rot.
• Leaf cutting redirects nutrients to the onion bulb, promoting larger size and increased overall production.
