Step-by-Step Application Guide
Bed Prep
Broadcast 400kg/bigha before forming the raised beds.
Raised Beds
Ensure the compost is mixed into the top 6 inches of soil.
Transplanting
Plant onion seedlings into the prepared fertile beds.
Top Dressing
At 45 days, apply 150-200kg/bigha around the base of the bulbs.
Irrigation
Water immediately to support large, firm bulb expansion.
Protection from disease
Mitti Gold Vermicompost contains natural chitinase-producing microbes that break down the cell walls of harmful pathogens. This protects vegetable crops from early/late blight and damping-off, ensuring a healthy root system.
Comparing Chemical vs. Organic Onions
Vermicompost promotes dry matter accumulation in the bulb resulting in harder, tightly-skinned onions that can be stored for 6-8 months without rotting.
Soil Aeration and Earthworms
Earthworms attracted by the vermicompost keep the soil physically loose exactly where the bulb needs to expand.
Commercial Market & Export
Vermicompost-grown onions easily meet global grading standards and survive long shipping journeys.
