Summer heat can be challenging for onions, so proper care is essential to maintain healthy growth. Ensure adequate watering, especially during hot spells. Deep watering helps the roots stay hydrated and prevents stress. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is crucial during the summer months. Look for signs of pests or diseases and take action promptly. Using natural pest control methods can help minimize the use of harmful chemicals. Proper ventilation can also help prevent fungal diseases. Fertilizing your onions during the summer can help them produce larger bulbs. Use a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for onions. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of bulb development. Harvesting onions at the right time is crucial for optimal flavor and quality.
