How to increase onion yield
Onions and garlic have a relatively low nutrient uptake efficiency, due to their shallow root system characterised by thick roots with very few and short hairs. To achieve optimum yields it is important to apply nutrients as close as possible to the rooting zone in frequently and readily available forms.
