In onion farming, weather is a key factor for consideration. It is therefore very important to consider it to know the right time to plant when the rains will not be less or excess for your produce. It is also important to note the terrain of the land to know if flooding is likely to be experienced and also to know if water can be easily redirected in case of floods to avoid loss. The vegetation around the place helps in this.

Choosing land

Land, where farming is meant to take place, is among the key factors to take into consideration when planning to practice onion farming. Look out for the vegetation around to know if flooding happens in the area. Look at the land terrain too to know if in case of heavy rains, the water can easily flow out of the farm to avoid loss of your crops. The land should also be easily accessible at all times including rainy seasons. This will help mostly during harvesting for one to get the produce to the market.

Production

Before planting take note of the weather patterns. This helps in knowing the right times to plant and harvest crops to avoid loss because of the heavy rains and flooding. For crops that do not need lots of water like onions, they should be planted earlier. Also noting the patterns of spraying the crops to ensure continuity of growth and also to avoid delaying of maturity and harvesting time.
