Onion fly can cause significant damage to crops, so it is worth using complex control methods.
Experienced gardeners try to stick to crop rotation, regularly cultivate the soil, dig and spray with special compounds.
It is also possible to plant certain plants, noted the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What options are we talking about?
Carrot
Few people remember that the decision to plant carrots near onions is optimal. The aroma of carrot tops is an excellent "repellent" for the onion fly.
Therefore, you may want to consider planting vegetables nearby.
Dill
If you like aromatic herbs, you should plant more of them. In this case, you will have enough for both fresh dishes and for winter preparations.
Another advantage of additional planting of dill is that it is a threat to onion fly.
Other options
A classic option for combating many pests is planting marigolds. Flowers are also effective against onion flies.
Mustard has an excellent effect. The onion fly will be afraid of mint and wormwood.
