How to Plant Onions in Pot or Polybag

Red Onion is one of the ingredients is very important. Because almost all dishes are made using red onion as a complement. No wonder growing onion needs each day and make any onion prices sometimes more expensive when compared to garlic and other vegetables.

Red onion, also known by the latin name Allium ascalonicum var we have load (L) back is a plant originating from Iran, Pakistan and surrounding areas this is a plant of the most famous in the world. Because in addition to being used as a seasoning, cook onion also turned out to be in another manner of consumption. Such as the Foundation of the fried onions, pickles as a complement of a food, or eat raw.

But not only is used for consumption, the onion is also commonly used for traditional medicine. Like for example made of materials for treatment ' kerik ' If you go in the wind. Not only that, the onion is also believed to have other properties in curing some diseases such as:
Treating ulcers,
lower cholesterol,
lowering sugar levels in the blood,
treating diabetes or Diabetes mellitus, and other diseases.

The various functions of onion above is because the onion has a lot of useful content for the health of the body. Like for example the content of potassium and fiber. Not only that, the onion also has vitamin C, folic acid, calcium and iron are also very useful for health and fitness of the body.
In Indonesia itself, there are several areas that make the onion as the mainstay of his farm. Such as Brebes in Central Java and also existing Cirebon district in West Java.

If you are interested in cultivating onion, below there are planting onions in pot so you can try it yourself at home. 6 simple steps of cultivating onions in pot for maximum results is a very simple way for those of you who want to learn to plant onion at home. The following is the planting of onion in the pot so that the fast-growing:

1. Choose the planting container

It turns out that the onion is a plant that is quite unique and different from most other plants. Since the planting of onion, you don't need a vast land. You can plant in the yard of the House using a pot. And some how to choose a pot for cultivation of onions are:

Select the pot holes

The hole in the pot is very vital. No need to worry your land may be located inside the pot will get out of the hole below. The function of this hole is as water circulationso that every time the plants we plant watered, soil in the pot that does not contain excessive water which is potentially damaging to the plant.

This type of pot

There are two types of pots. There is a ball on the floor and some are hanged. If you choose a hanging pot, which should be noted is the weight of the pot. Especially at a time when the pot was just watered. The water will add to the weight of the pot. And if the pot is not strong, the pot can be broken because it doesn't withstand the weight.

There are some materials that are commonly used to make pots with different functions. Like for example the pot made of plastic which is a pot that is quite cheap in terms of price. But sometimes the pots of plastic are menkilat and quite dazzling eye if exposed to direct sunlight.
In addition, there are pots made of ceramic and concrete that could hold the soil moisture for plants that require high humidity. Then there's also the pot with wooden base material and suitable clay used in the rainy season as it can keep the humidity of the soil that exists therein. But a shortage of pots made from wood and clay, it is easily damaged.

The last thing to look for is the size. The size of the pot plant and had to adjust the existing space. If you want to plant onions, pots used need not be too large. Even if it's already there is great, you can plant the seeds in a pot 2-3 to mengefisiensikan place.

How To Plant Rice

The quality of the seed and the option

the seeds of selectionSeed is a product of life that should be grown, harvested, and processed correctly in order to realize the potential results of rice varieties. Good quality seed can increase yields by up to 5-20%. Use a good seed leads to lower the high level of seeding, crop planting, reduced the emergence of more uniform crop stand, early plant growth and stronger. Strong growth in the early stages reduces the problem of grass and plant increase resistance to insect pests and diseases. All of these factors contribute to a higher yield and more productive rice fields.

Good seed is purely (from a variety of options), full and uniform in size, worth (more than 80% pengecambahan with the spirit of the good seed), and seeds of weeds, disease free seed, insect pathogen, or other problems.

Select the descendants of various suitable rice to suit that environment will grow inand brilliantly selected seeds from a variety of the highest quality possible is an important first step in the production of rice.

Land preparation

Before the rice can be grown, the soil must be in the best physical condition for the growth of plants and the ground surface is level. Land preparation involving the ploughing and harrowing for 'til ' or dug-up, mix and the level of the ground.

Tillage enables the seeds to planted at a depth of, and also helped with weed control. Farmers can get to ground itself using hoes and other tools or they can be assisted by draft animals, such as Buffalo, or tractors and other machines.

Furthermore, the ground was leveled to reduce the amount of water wasted by rainwater too deep pockets or exposed soil. Leveling the ground effectively allows seedlings to become established more easily, reducing the amount of effort required to manage the plant, and improve the quality of grain and results.

Establishment of plant

planting

Two main practices establishment of rice plant that planting and direct seeding.

Planting technique of the most popular establishments in all of Asia. Pre-germinated seeds transferred from seedbed to wet areas. It requires less seed and is an effective method to control weeds, but needs the labor. Seedlings may be transplanted by machine or hand.

Direct seeding involves Broadcasting seeds dry or pre-germinated seeds and seedlings by hand or by machine plant them. In the rice paddies rainwater and marine ecosystems, seeds dry manually broadcast to the ground and then put either by plowing or by horrible while the ground is still dry. In the area of irrigation, seed usually germinates pre-season before broadcasting.

Water use and management

Cultivated rice are very sensitive to lack of water. To ensure enough water for padi farmers, mostly aiming to maintain the condition of flooding in their field. This is especially true for rice fields. Good water management in rice focuses on the practices that conserve water while ensuring enough water for the plant.

In the environment of rice field rainwater when the optimal amount of water are not likely available for rice production, a suite of options available to help farmers cope with different degrees and forms of water scarcity. This includes sound land preparation and planting activities pre-followed by techniques such as soil saturated culture, alternate wetting and drying, raised beds, Mulching and use of aerobic rice can overcome the condition.

Nutrient management

nutrition-managementAt each stage of the growth of the rice plant have nutritional needs. This makes the management of the critical aspects of a nutrient of rice farming.

The unique nature of the flooding of the land make the rice differs from other plants. Due to the prolonged floods in the rice paddies, farmers were able to conserve soil organic matter and also receive a free input of nitrogen from biological sources, which means they need little or no fertilizer nitrogen to maintain yields. However, farmers can adapt to the conditions of their nutrient management field to improve results.

Plant Health

Rice plant has a range of ' enemy ' in the field. These include mice, insects, viruses, diseases, and weeds. Farmers manage weeds through water management and soil preparation, hand weeding, and in some cases herbcide application. Understanding the interactions between pests, natural enemies, host plants, other organisms, and the environment allows the farmer to determine what if any pest management may need.

Avoid conditions that allow pests to adapt and thrive in a particular ecosystem that helps to identify the weak link in the life cycle of pests and therefore what factors that can be manipulated to manage it.
