About -

Bring bold flavor to your kitchen with Richgrow Seeds Red Onion Sindoor Open Pollinated Seeds, a robust, non-GMO variety (Allium cepa), perfect for Indian home gardeners and farmers seeking vibrant, deep red onions at an unbeatable price! Known as Sindoor, this open-pollinated variety produces medium to large, round bulbs, measuring 5–7 cm in diameter, with glossy, deep red skin and firm, sweet-pungent flesh, ideal for curries, salads, or pickling, ready to harvest in 90–110 days after sowing. Rich in vitamin C, quercetin, and antioxidants, these onions support immunity and heart health, and their seeds can be saved for future planting. The upright, sturdy plants, reaching 30–40 cm tall, are resistant to pests like thrips and diseases such as downy mildew, thriving in warm to mild climates, with optimal sowing in early monsoon (June–July) or post-monsoon (October–November) across Pan-India, especially in states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka.

Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 10–15 cm apart in rows 30–40 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 7–14 days at 15–25°C. Maintain consistently moist soil with light watering (0.5–1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), avoiding waterlogging, and fertilize with organic compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3 weeks; use neem oil or organic sprays for pests like onion maggots or aphids. Thin to one strong seedling per spot after 2–3 weeks for optimal bulb development. Harvest onions when tops turn yellow or flop over, typically 90–110 days after germination, gently lifting with a fork, and cure in a dry, shaded area for 7–10 days, ensuring excellent storage in a cool, dry place for up to 4–6 months. Store unopened seed packets in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years.

Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (150–200 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Soak seeds in water for 12–24 hours before sowing to boost germination; protect from excessive heat to prevent bolting.
