Bulb Onion Production Guide
ONION PRODUCTION IN A GREENHOUSE
GREENHOUSE TECHNOLOGY
Greenhouse is a structure that allows controls of certain environmental parameters for purposes of providing optimum conditions for the growth of a targeted crop. The greenhouse production is a highly specialized and intensive form of agriculture as Compared to field crop agriculture. The greenhouse production is more suited to vegetables, flowers; fruit a can also be used as a nursery for all vegetable crops, because of their short life-span

INTRODUCTION Onion (Allium cepa) has been grown for food since recorded history the production of onion bulb is dependent upon day length. Different cultivars require different hours of daylight to bulb some bunching cultivars, are used for green onions produced from seed.
Learning how to grow onions is one of the best ways to allocate your garden resources, because onions are used in so many recipes and dishes. You may not like raw onions in the least, but even then, cooked onions are useful in enhancing the taste in foods ranging from Italian pasta dishes to Indian curries.
If you want to enjoy the freshest onions, grow them fresh in your own in personal garden, or even on an indoor vine. Homegrown onions aren’t hard to upkeep and should be fresher and higher quality than those bought at the store. You’ll also be secure, knowing that no harmful pesticides went into the production of your crop, and therefore trace amounts of pesticides don’t end up being consumed by you and your family.
Besides that, growing your own food helps you feel fulfilled and rewarded and closer to the soil. Once you’ve learned how to grow onions, you can nurture a living entity through its natural life cycle and live in symbiosis with your property, by eating what you grow on your own land.
Onions are confused with tuber plants, because the vine they grow on produces a bulbous fruit submerged in the ground for a food source. However, onions are just another form of

    This experiment was performed to determine the role of phytochrome in lettuce seed germination. In order to conduct this experiment three different types of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds were chosen: Waldmann, Concept, and Two Star. Each of these seeds were exposed to the following regulated courses of light exposure for ten minutes after they had imbibed for five minutes: Red, White, Far Red, and Darkness. It was hypothesized that the seeds would germinate in both red and white light, but germination would not take place under far red light or darkness. The results were that exposure to the white light produced the highest percentage of germination rates in the Waldermann variety of lettuce seed followed by exposure to the red light. Neither the concept nor the two star lettuce seed germinated. As suspected, the seeds that were exposed to darkness produced the percentage of germination. The far red light also failed to produce any germination in the Waldermann…

    The data received is inconsistent with the hypothesis. We hypothesized that the onion would contain less color in the 40% ethanol; however, research indicates a variety of pigmentation loss within both the dionized water and the 40% ethanol. These significant findings produced similar P-values.…

    1.Prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 large onion into small dice, about 5mm square. The easiest way to do this is to cut the onion in half from root to tip, peel it and slice each half into thick matchsticks lengthways, not quite cutting all the way to the root end so they are still held together. Slice across the matchsticks into neat dice. Cut 1 red pepper in half lengthways, remove stalk and wash the seeds away, then chop. Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves.…

    Arabidopsis thaliana is a small plant in the mustard family (Mitchell-Olds,2001) that became the best studied model system in plant species. Thaliana is considered a weed. The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a important model system to identify genes and determine their functions. In 1964, Plant scientists made a prediction that Arabidopsis thaliana would become the botanical equivalent of Drosophila, and history has carried out this prediction. Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant to have its genome sequences. Thaliana has an average length of about 20-30 cm not including the roots, and a life span of only 6 to 8 weeks. It is grown in salty or metallic soils or in very cold or hot climates and each Arabidopsis plant can produce thousands of seeds. Twenty-five years ago, Arabidopsis thaliana…

    Botany of Desire

    The Botany of Desire relates to the topic of photosynthesis. Pollan states that while humans were “learning to walk on two feet”, plants were “inventing photosynthesis and perfecting organic chemistry…” (xx). According to Pollan, a reason for the need for photosynthesis was immobility. Pollan explains that due to “perfecting” photosynthesis, plants were able to design chemicals for defense against predators, which then solved the problem of immobility. The practice of monoculture is also discussed in the book. Monoculture may be economically beneficial, but it can bring serious environmental risks. The growing of multiple varieties of a single crop increases the chance that if one fails, another will have the genetic traits that allow it to thrive. Monoculture also forces the identical plants to be vulnerable to pests and disease. The use of pesticides can be reduced by maintaining pest resistance through biodiversity. Pollan acknowledges those who argue for protecting crops by giving them genes from other organisms; this is known as genetic engineering. Today, many crops like corn and soybeans are genetically engineered.…

    The non-biological definition of a vegetable is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition. Therefore, the application of the word is somewhat arbitrary, based on cultural and/or personal views. Vegetables are most often cooked in savoury or salty dishes. However, a few vegetables can be used in desserts and other sweet dishes, such as pumpkin pie and carrot cake.…
