Ripening time and yield

Onion Globo refers to late-ripening varieties. It matures within 120–160 days after germination. The timing depends on the climatic conditions of the region and agricultural technology. When planted in spring, the crop can be harvested in September. To accelerate maturation, a seedling method of cultivation is used. The crop yield is very high – the indicator reaches 12–14 kg per 1 m2, i.e. 120–140 kg per hundred.

Disease and pest resistance

Onion Globo has excellent resistance to diseases and pests – this ensures high yields. However, the risk of damage cannot be completely ruled out. For example, with improper care, as well as in cold and rainy summers, the culture may suffer from peronosporosis (downy mildew). The invasion of onion flies and other pests is not ruled out. Therefore, periodically landings need to be inspected. At the first signs of the disease, they are treated with folk remedies or special preparations.

When to plant Globo onions

Onion Globo belongs to late varieties, so they try to plant it early. The culture will not withstand return frosts below zero, so the period must be selected carefully, taking into account the method of cultivation and the climatic conditions of the region:

  1. If used for seedlings, then the seeds are planted in March.
  2. Seedlings are transferred to open ground in early May.
  3. Also, seeds can be sown immediately in the garden. The optimal time is from mid-April to early May.
  4. If you plant sevok, planting is planned for the first half or mid-May.

Methods for planting Globo onions

Onion Globo is most often grown from seed. They can be planted in seedlings, which is especially important for regions with a short summer (Urals, Siberia, the Far East). In the south, seeds can be planted immediately in open ground and harvested in September. Another way is planting sevka (better at the end of May). This is a universal option that is suitable for all regions.

Sowing onion Globo for seedlings

It will take more effort to grow Globo onion seedlings, but a high yield is guaranteed, and the likelihood that the plants will suffer from frost is practically excluded. Before planting, the seeds must be prepared:

  • hold for 30 minutes in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate;
  • put in warm water for several hours.
  • let dry;
  • soak in a growth stimulant, for example, in “Epin”;
  • put on wet gauze and stand for a week (preferably in a saucer).

Seeds are planted in boxes 10–12 cm high. The soil must be fertile, for example, garden soil with humus, black peat and sand (2:1:1:1). Before planting, several grooves are formed 1 cm deep at a distance of 5 cm. Seeds are planted at 3 cm intervals, sprinkled a little with soil and sprayed with water from a spray bottle.

Globo onion seedlings are conveniently grown in cassettes

Cover the container with a film and put in a warm place (23–25 degrees). After the emergence of seedlings, the shelter is removed and grown at 16-18 degrees. In two weeks, they begin to harden the seedlings – they take them out to the balcony for several hours, gradually increasing the time. They are planted in the ground according to the following scheme:

  • depth – 2 cm;
  • distance between seedlings – 10 cm;
  • distance between rows – 50 cm.
Attention! If the weather is normal, Globo onion seedlings can be transplanted into the ground after the appearance of three full leaves. If frost is expected, you should wait a few more days.

Growing onion Globo from seeds in the open field

Seeds in open ground are sown according to the same scheme. Previously, the bed is cleaned, dug up, fertilized. The soil should be light and fertile, such as loam or sandstone. If the soil is depleted, it is pre-fertilized with organic matter (compost, humus) at the rate of one bucket per 2 m2. The first step is to keep the soil moist. Until shoots appear, it is recommended to cover with a film at night and on cold days.

Planting sevka in the spring

For planting Globo onion sets, open areas are chosen without flooding and stagnant moisture (lowlands are excluded). Planting material is prepared in two weeks. It is heated at a temperature of 45 degrees for eight hours, then pickled in a fungicide solution for 30–40 minutes and left to dry at room temperature.

The landing pattern is as follows:

  • furrows 2 cm deep;
  • the interval between sets is 8–10 cm;
  • distance between rows 30–40 cm.
Advice! If possible, plantings are best mulched with sawdust, straw, needles. The protective layer allows the soil to retain moisture longer, and also inhibits the growth of weeds.

Globo onion care

Onion Globo is undemanding to care, but to get a good harvest, you should pay attention to it. It is especially important to do the following:

  1. Watering – at the first stages plentiful, then as the soil dries out. In the heat (in the evening), the greenery needs additional irrigation.
  2. Fertilizers should be applied only during the period of active growth of feathers. Organics are best suited – mullein, infusion of cut grass. Further top dressing is not necessary.
  3. Loosening and weeding – as needed.
Attention! The more feathers, the larger the bulbs will be. Therefore, they cannot be cut. If Globo onions are grown on greens, then the turnips will be smaller, and the yield will decrease.

To prevent the withering of greenery, it must be irrigated in a drought.

Fighting diseases and pests

Onion Globo rarely suffers from diseases or pests. If brown spots or purple bloom appear on the leaves, and the feathers become lethargic, it is necessary to treat with fungicides as soon as possible:

  • Bordeaux liquid;
  • “RAW”;
  • “Maksim”;
  • “Order”;
  • “Fitosporin”.

With the invasion of onion flies, moths, thrips and other pests, Globo onion plantings are sprayed with home solutions (for example, tobacco dust, wood ash, laundry soap, baking soda, chili peppers). In extreme cases, insecticides are used:

  • “Aktara”;
  • “Decis”;
  • “Confidor”;
  • “Inta-Vir”;
  • “Match”.
Attention! From the moment of processing to the harvest of Globo onions, at least 5-7 days should pass. Chemicals can build up in greens, so it’s best to wait for extra time.

Conclusion

Luk Globo, despite its foreign origin, is well adapted to climatic conditions. The culture is grown in seedlings. In the south, seeds can be planted immediately in open ground. Agricultural technology is simple, so even a novice summer resident can handle the cultivation.

Reviews of gardeners about onion Globo

Belova Tatyana, 39 years old, Ulyanovsk
I first learned about Globo onions from neighbors. Attention was drawn to the fact that their bulbs are always large, one to one – such a feature. I grew sevkom, although seedlings are better. Do not rush to transplant to the garden – you need to wait for the heat, it is better to do this in the second half of May. In general, I am satisfied, the harvest is high from year to year.
Minchenko Natalia, 49 years old, Bryansk
Onion Globo – it is almost like a globe, because the bulbs are large and round. I really liked the taste, there is no bitterness in them, but the sharpness is delicate. So it goes great in salads. You need to store in a cool place, it lies for four months without loss. It is definitely worth a try, because his care, like our varieties, is nothing unusual.
