Onion Nutrition

Applying fertiliser that provide balance nutrition is necessary for achieving High yields and quality onions. It is important not to over-apply nitrogen, particularly in bulb onions, as this can delay maturity, soften bulbs and lead to storage rots.

May 26, 2021

Best Fertilizer for Onions

Onions require a high source of nitrogen. A nitrogen-based fertilizer (ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate) should be applied at the rate of one cup per twenty feet of row. The first application should be about three weeks after planting and then continue with applications every 2 to 3 weeks.

Capsicums Farming

Capsicums grow well in containers of at least 25 cm depth of soil. Capsicums are slow to develop fruit and can take up to 3 months depending on the variety chosen and your climate. All capsicums are green to start with before developing their full colour eg red, yellow, orange or purple. They can be picked early when green but the longer you wait the sweeter they will be.

Best Fertilizers For The Green House Production

Different approaches to fertilizing can be used to produce a high quality crop of any species. Often despite major differences in fertilizer programs between two growers excellent results are achieved when the two crops finish. In this piece basic fertilizer programs are recommended for the most important crops currently grown in East African greenhouses. An individual grower may need to "fine-tune" these recommendations to fit his/her conditions.

Potato Nutrition

Because potatoes are a root vegetable that grows below the surface of the soil, phosphate and potassium are more beneficial to potato growth. Choose an all-purpose granular fertilizer with the appropriate levels of potassium and phosphate.

Basics Of Fertilizer Applications
