The best time for onion planting depends on the region and the desired harvest season.
Here's a breakdown of onion planting times based on different seasons and regions in India:
Onion Planting Times in India:
The cultivation of onions is categorized into Kharif, Late Kharif and Rabi seasons in India. Different regions have different optimal planting times.
| Season | Time of Seed Sowing | Time of Harvesting |
|---|---|---|
| Kharif | June-July | Nov.-Dec. |
| Late Kharif | Aug.-Sept. | Feb.-Mar. |
| Rabi | Sept.-Oct. | Mar.-Apr. |
Onion Planting Times in Hilly Areas of India:
| Season | Time of Seed Sowing | Time of Harvesting |
|---|---|---|
| Rabi | Sept.-Oct. | June-July |
| Summer (Long day type) | Nov.-Dec. | Aug.-Oct. |
Therefore, there isn't one single "best" time for onions. Instead, consider the climate, region, and desired harvest season when determining the optimal planting time.
