Haidy Abdalnasser Shares Harvesting Tips for Onions Cultivated with Bulblets
Haidy Abdalnasser, reporting from SEKEM Group, provides valuable insights into the onion harvesting process after cultivating with bulblets. With cultivation initiated in late November and harvesting completed in mid-April, SEKEM Group demonstrates its commitment to sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
Upon harvest, it is essential to follow specific tips to ensure the quality and longevity of the onions. Abdalnasser recommends allowing the onions to remain in the field for 3-7 days, shielded from direct sunlight. This process, known as curing, facilitates the removal of excess moisture from the bulbs and promotes the drying of necks, thereby reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
Acknowledgments are extended to Prof. Dr. Mahmoud Adel for his invaluable contribution to the cultivation process at SEKEM Group. His expertise and guidance have played a significant role in ensuring successful onion cultivation and harvest.
As SEKEM Group continues to prioritize sustainable agriculture and innovation, the insights shared by Abdalnasser serve as a testament to their dedication to excellence in vegetable cultivation.
