When are the onions eaten in winter planted?

Onion has been cultivated in China for more than 2,000 years, mostly in northern areas, such as Zhangqiu, Licheng and Anqiu in Shandong, and Hebei, Shaanxi, Jilin and other provinces and cities. Green onions are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, and have strong adaptability, which can be supplied to the market all year round. Spring, summer and autumn are mainly supplied with shallots, and the onions eaten in winter are called "dried onions", which are stored after early harvest and fresh onions cultivated with protective measures.

1. What are winter onions or dried onions and stored onions? 1, onion

Onion is planted for storage and supply in winter. The purpose is to store onions after harvest and then supply them in the form of dried onions for winter consumption. In northern areas, such as Anqiu, Shandong Province, winter onions are stored for a period of time after harvest and then supplied to consumers in winter, for example, during the Spring Festival, which plays an important role in winter vegetables.

2. hoard onions

Storing green onions is to use protective facilities such as greenhouses, greenhouses, and sun beds to follow them in for cultivation, so that they can grow new leaves, and then plan to sell them. Because the bigger the scallion plant, the smaller the weight gain will be, so it is necessary to use half a scallion to store the scallion, which will increase the weight.

Few people do it here now, because it needs to increase investment and the price will not be too high. It is better to sell it directly after harvest.

So when will the winter onion be planted and cultivated?

Second, how to arrange the cultivation season and time of winter onion? The schedule of onion planting is roughly as follows:

1, seedling raising

The seedling raising time of winter onion can be in spring or autumn, depending on the climatic conditions of each region. Like Weifang, Shandong, winter onions are planted in autumn and summer onions are planted in spring.

The agricultural proverb says "seven onions, eight garlic, nine oils and ten wheat", which means that it is time to sow green onions in July of the lunar calendar. When planting winter onion in autumn, it is usually sown in late August to late September. In Anqiu, we sow in late September. After winter, I planted it the next year.

2. Colonization

The planting time of winter onion is the earliest in early May and the latest in early July. Like ours, it is usually planted from late June to early July. It's called Autumn Sowing summer sowing.

3. Harvest

The earliest harvesting time of winter onion is 10/early October, and the latest harvesting time is 1 1654381early October. There is a saying in the agricultural proverb that "light snow collects onions, and if it doesn't, it will be empty." For example, we planted green onions in early June at 5438+065438+ 10, which should be sold earlier. We kept them in June at 5438+065438+ 10. Don't want to sell, or the price is not good, don't want to sell or can't sell, so we have to let them spend the winter in the field and sell it the next spring. An agricultural proverb says, "garlic can't die from freezing, and garlic can't die from drought."

Spring wheat, eggplant vegetables, melon, spring vegetables, etc. You can plant it in the second year, and so can winter wheat.

How to store green onions after harvest?

Third, how to store shallots? Say it briefly.

Whether the environmental conditions are suitable during the storage of green onions directly affects the storage period, quality and loss rate. So we have the saying that "ghosts dare not sell onions", which shows that the sale and storage of onions are not easy.

The storage methods of Welsh onion mainly include ditch storage, burial, dry storage, shelf storage, heel in storage, hollow stacking storage, cellar storage, cold storage and frozen storage. Various storage methods have different management measures, but it should be noted that green onions should not be turned over during storage, otherwise they will easily deteriorate. An agricultural proverb says: "Green onions are afraid of moving and freezing".

Generally speaking, the spring onions that are on the market in winter are generally sown in the autumn of the first year, that is, after the solar term of Bailu, they are sown in May-July of the second year, harvested at10-1month (around beginning of winter), and then stored for a short time. This is the winter onion that we often eat.
