How does the biggest onion grow?

No vegetable is grown as often in the Netherlands as the onion. And that is becoming increasingly challenging with the changing climate. Measures such as planting density and timely irrigation play a major role in the optimal development of the onion plant.

The animation below shows the development of the onion and the crucial growth moments that are important for a high crop yield.
