Onions
Top Fact:
With a shallow, unbranched root system, onions are inefficient at scavenging for immobile nutrients like Phosphorus and Zinc. They rely on early availability to establish the leaf count that dictates final bulb size. A tailored nutritional programme overcomes this “rooting handicap,” ensuring better bulb uniformity, improved storage potential, and resilience against the variable nutrient release of organic manures.
