If the onion is affected by such a dangerous fungal disease as downy mildew (this disease is also called “false powdery mildew”), then it is unlikely that the crop will be saved.
The appearance of onion flies in the garden can lead to a similar consequence.
Fortunately, there is a simple way to prevent such troubles.
The garden crop will be protected from both dangerous diseases and common agricultural pests if you carry out one simple procedure.
What procedure are we talking about?
According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , a protective effect can be achieved if you water the onion bed with salt water.
It is enough to do this only once during the entire summer cottage season.
To prepare the solution, pour half a glass of sodium chloride into a bucket filled with water.
This simple liquid is the very same super-remedy that protects onions from downy mildew and onion fly.
Earlier, the expert told about a secret method of growing onions for greens at home.
