How to Grow Scallions for High Yield? Latest Cultivation Technique Tutorial

Scallions are an indispensable side vegetable in our daily lives. They can be used for seasoning, adding aroma, and effectively helping to stimulate the appetite. Moreover, whether grown on a large scale for market sale or grown at home for self-sufficiency, they occupy no small amount of planting area. But the scallions many friends grow are not only unattractive in appearance, but also especially low in yield. So how should they be grown to achieve high yield? Below, the editor brings you the high-yield cultivation techniques for scallions.

1. Planting method

When consumers buy scallions, they judge them by the length of the white stalk and how upright it grows, so we must lay a good foundation at planting time to ensure the length and uprightness of the white stalk. Before planting, prepare the planting holes well, and make sure that the seedlings are planted upright; under no circumstances should the seedlings be planted leaning. Also, the planting depth must not be too shallow. If the planting depth is too shallow, the white stalk will be very short. But they must not be planted too deep either, because this will affect the seedlings' sprouting. Reasonably control the planting density; although scallions are relatively small, the ventilation within the garden must still be ensured.

2. Reasonable watering

During the growing process, watering should be carried out reasonably according to factors such as growth rate, weather and soil. However, watering needs to be done at several specific times. For example, during the transition between summer and autumn, water appropriately to promote the growth and development of the scallion roots; if the weather is not too dry, we should appropriately reduce watering. If the rainy season comes, pay attention to water accumulation in the vegetable garden and drain it promptly; too much accumulated water will affect root respiration and cause root rot. After entering autumn, the water requirement decreases, so a small amount of light watering can be given appropriately; after Frost's Descent, it is enough just to keep the soil moist.

3. Fertilization management

During the growing process, the amount of nutrients will directly affect the growth of scallions, and scallions require relatively large amounts of nutrients for growth. This is especially true during the vigorous growth period, which is the most critical stage; if sufficient nutrients are not ensured, the quality of the white stalk will be reduced, such as its length and firmness. When topdressing, mainly use farmyard manure, and do not apply a single fertilizer or over-apply any one fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer; all kinds of compound fertilizers must be used reasonably to effectively promote growth. The two most important topdressing times are during the seedling growth period and the vigorous growth period of the white stalk. During these two stages, the supply of fertilizer must be ensured to promote the growth and high yield of scallions.

4. Proper earthing up

As mentioned earlier, the quality of scallions is mainly determined by the white stalk, and improving the quality of the white stalk depends on earthing up. During the growth and development of scallions, earthing up must be carried out at least three times. The purpose of earthing up is to better loosen the soil, enhance soil permeability, and promote root respiration. It can not only effectively prevent abnormal growth and lodging of scallions, but also benefit the growth of the white stalk and increase yield. However, everyone must pay attention not to let the soil cover the white stalk when earthing up.

The above are the high-yield cultivation techniques for growing scallions. Of course, during the growing process we still need to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, since this is an aspect that requires our attention in cultivation. Strengthen the management of the vegetable garden, reduce latent pathogens in the garden, and lower the incidence of disease. That is all for today's introduction. I hope everyone can draw some inspiration from this article.
