Diseases in onion cultivation. Practical guide and recommendations.

This time we are going to go through a detailed map of diseases in onion (Allium cepa) cultivation, in all cultivation environments, from professional farms in the open field to productions in domestic and smaller spaces.

It is very important that, in order to avoid significant economic losses in our agricultural projects, we learn to identify the origin of these onion diseases; its fungal, bacterial, viral and physiological causes. In this way we will be able to deal with them preventively by following the symptoms, as well as successfully stop and solve the damage already caused.

Next, we will make a technical classification of diseases in onion cultivation according to the causal agent that originates them, proposing a solid basis for decision-making in the integrated management of our agricultural roadmap and the adoption of more sustainable agricultural practices.
