Foliar feeding of onion and garlic

One of the biological features of onion is its ability, under unfavorable conditions (shortage of moisture and nutrients in the soil, soil compaction, etc.), to stop leaf growth, quickly finish bulb formation and go into dormancy.

If leaf formation has stopped and bulb formation has already started, no agronomic practices can stop this process.

To prevent this from happening prematurely we recommend a set of measures aimed at the growth of healthy leaves undamaged by diseases and pests. A leading place among them belongs to the system of root and foliar feeding.

ECOORGANIC offers a system of foliar feeding with special fertilizers from the ECOLINE and GROS lines.

  1. 3–5 leaf stage – ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 1.5 l/ha + GROS Phosphito-NP 1.5 l/ha
  2. Active growth – ECOLINE Zinc (Chelate) 1.0 l/ha + ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) 2.0 l/ha
  3. Start of bulb formation – ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 1.5 l/ha + ECOLINE Phosphite (K) 1.5 l/ha.
