As a rule, onions require minimal care – this crop is distinguished by its unpretentiousness.
However, just one mistake that summer residents can make in June due to ignorance can completely deprive them of their harvest.
What could go wrong in the first month of summer?
During this period, pest control, in particular the onion fly, is especially important.
Since this parasite feeds on the pulp of onions, it exposes the owner of a summer cottage with onions planted there to the risk of being left without a supply of this vegetable for the winter.
If you don’t want to be left with nothing, it’s worth launching a campaign to combat the onion fly from the end of May to the beginning of June.
For this purpose, you can use both specially created compositions and folk remedies.
For example, wood ash, which should be scattered between the beds, shows high efficiency in the fight against pests. Alternatively, spray the plantings with ammonia.
