Onion Farming: Boost Yield and Size with Proper Seedling Transplanting

• Rabi season onion cultivation is profitable, but transplanting mistakes can severely impact the crop.
• Maintain proper spacing between onion seedlings (at least 10 inches) to ensure optimal growth and larger bulb size.
• Dr. J.B. Singh advises preparing nurseries first, then transplanting seedlings into the field, with the crop maturing in 120-150 days.
• Farmer Anil Kumar Mishra emphasizes immediate transplanting of seedlings after uprooting to prevent damage.
• Ensure proper drainage in the field during Rabi season to prevent waterlogging, which can harm onion plants.

Why It Matters: Correct spacing, timely transplanting, and water management are crucial for high onion yield and profit.
