Conditions for Development. Uneven irrigation of onion fields increases the incidence of this disorder. Fields that are over-irrigated, allowed to dry completely and then over-irrigated again often have many split bulbs. This condition is more prevalent in areas of the field were stands are thin or uneven.

The ultimate size of the bulb depends upon its genetics and the environment - specifically temperature, and amount of moisture and fertility received during the growing season. As maturation proceeds, necks soften and the weight of the leaves causes the tops to fall over.

If the oil isn't hot enough, the dough will absorb the oil, creating soggy onion rings that may fall apart. Also, for the best onion rings ever, be sure not to overcrowd the frying vessel: Give your onion rings room to move around.

Overwatering can turn your green onion's home into a swampy mess, leading to leaves that are more slumped than a teenager on a couch.
