Onion Planting Season in Egypt

Planting Time:
Onion is a cool-season crop and can be planted in two main seasons in Egypt:

🌱 Seed Planting (for transplanting later):

• Mid-August to September
  Seeds are sown in seedbeds, and seedlings are later transplanted to the field.

🌿 Transplanting Time:

• November to early January
  Seedlings aged around 45–60 days are transplanted during this period.

🌾 Direct Seeding (Rainfed or Mechanized Farms):

• October to November
  Seeds are directly sown in the field, especially in large-scale commercial farming.

Soil Preparation:
Well-drained, fertile loamy soil with good organic matter is preferred. Avoid water-logging and ensure proper irrigation.

Harvest Time:
Onions are usually ready to harvest 4 to 5 months after transplanting, typically between March and May depending on the region and planting date.
