Base dressing with Fertilone^® 8.8.14 provides a solid nutritional foundation for onion crops, promoting rapid establishment, an active root system, and uniform, high-quality bulbs. Its organo-mineral balance delivers progressive and sustainable nutrition that drives consistent growth and profitable production.

Onion has a shallow and poorly branched root system, which limits its exploration capacity and makes it highly dependent on the initial soil fertility. It requires well-structured, aerated soils with good water retention to maintain balanced growth. In compacted soils or those poor in organic matter, roots develop inadequately, affecting bulb size and consistency.

The sensitivity of onion to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium imbalances makes a stable and well-balanced base dressing essential. Excess nitrogen delays maturation, while phosphorus or potassium deficiencies limit root growth and final quality. A proper nutrient balance, complemented by active organic matter, promotes vigorous roots and uniform bulb formation.

Fertilone^® 8.8.14:

Fertilone^® 8.8.14 is a high-quality organo-mineral fertilizer whose NPK balance (8-8-14) and organic fraction meet the nutritional requirements of onions, promoting deeper roots, well-formed bulbs, and greater tolerance to stress. Its application enhances soil efficiency and ensures a constant nutrient supply throughout the growth cycle.

In addition, Fertilone^® 8.8.14 simplifies fertilization operations by combining, in a single application, the organic contribution of manure with mineral nutrition. Its pelletized formulation ensures uniform distribution and easy incorporation into the soil, reducing machinery passes and avoiding the drawbacks of unstabilized organic materials, such as pathogens or unwanted seeds.

It is recommended to apply between 800 and 1,600 kg/ha of Fertilone^® 8.8.14 as a base fertilizer, depending on soil fertility and production objectives.

These guidelines are indicative and should be adjusted according to professional technical criteria. For optimal management, consult an agronomic advisor or contact our technical department.

Better roots, stronger bulbs, higher quality with Fertilone^® 8.8.14.

Fertilone^® 8.8.14 is an effective technical tool to optimize soil fertility, improve nutrient-use efficiency, and produce onions with greater size, firmness, and storability. Its use as a base fertilizer represents a sound agronomic strategy to maximize the productive potential and profitability of the crop.

To maximize fertilization efficiency, it is essential to carry out soil and tissue analyses, adjusting rates according to crop needs. Proper irrigation management ensures optimal nutrient uptake. Foliar applications should be performed during the coolest hours of the day to enhance effectiveness and minimize evaporation losses.
