How to protect plantings from onion fly: simple methods - not all summer residents know

Any experienced gardener knows that it is better to protect yourself from an onion fly invasion in advance: at the moment when the symptoms of its presence become obvious, it will be difficult to save the harvest.

The main methods of prevention are high-quality crop rotation and regular digging.

But there are several other methods that, when combined, give good results, notes the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What do they consist of?

Carrot

Not everyone knows that onions and carrots will be great neighbors. They will drive away various pests, which will benefit the vegetable harvest.

Some more useful plants

These options should be planted around the perimeter of the bed to "hide" the onion from the fly. Mustard, dill and marigolds can be safely included among such plants.

Tansy with wormwood

This method will help to deal with the onion fly problem efficiently and effectively. You will just need to walk around the area and surrounding areas.

Collect the required amount of wormwood and tansy. Afterwards, the plants are simply left in the garden bed.
