Leek Karantansky, seeds Intersemya white package 0.3g

Late-ripening winter-hardy variety. The plant forms a false short stem (edible bleached part), which grows up to 20 cm in height. The stem is cylindrical and the leaves are arranged in a fan-like manner on it. The thickness of the middle part of the stem varies within 4-6 cm. The leaves are dark green in color and abundantly covered with a waxy bloom. They are spreading and quite tight to one another. The internodes are short. The bulb itself is white, but gradually turns green towards the leaf area. The bulb is small in size. Possesses good taste. It tastes semi-sharp. Productivity from one m2 to 4 kg. One plant reaches a weight of 200 to 325 g. Fresh onions are used for making salads. Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in early March 50-60 days before planting in open ground. The seeds remain viable for three years. It should be remembered that a flower shoot with seeds is formed only the next year. In this regard, plant propagation is carried out only after winter. Before sowing, the seeds must be soaked in water at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius for three days. They are planted in the ground to a depth of about 2 cm; about 4-5 cm of free space should be left between the planting lines. The temperature regime for the period of seed germination should be about + 20-22 ° С. If these rules are observed, the first shoots will appear on the 10-15th day. For planting in the ground, the seedlings are ready when they have the first 3-4 true leaves, and the diameter of the stem itself should vary within 6-8 mm. Before transplanting, the seedlings are watered abundantly. Before planting onions in open ground, their roots are shortened by about 3 cm, and the length of the stem is shortened by 1/3 of the length of the leaf. This will significantly increase the yield. It is better to harvest the onions before frost. Do not cut off powerful roots, but put them in the sand in the cellar together with the leaves.
