    For several years in a row, onions have grown spoiled. The outside looks normal, but rotten rings are found in the cut. How to deal with this?

      - There may be several reasons for this phenomenon:
      excessive soil moisture;
      violation of the rules of crop rotation and growing onions in one place for several years in a row;
      high nitrogen content in the soil.

      If you grow onions in the same area, it is most likely that the soil is infected with bacterial rot, bacteriosis, or neck rot.
      To break the vicious circle, grow the onions in a new place next season, soak the seed or seeds in a fungicide diluted according to the instructions or a pink solution of potassium permanganate before planting, water the beds only when the ground is thoroughly dry.

      - Most likely, we are talking about rust. If so, then after some time the dots will turn black and the feathers will dry out. Rust is a fairly persistent and contagious fungal disease. Its spores winter well in the soil, and if from year to year grow onions in the same place, rust will attack it every year. Therefore, in the future, be sure to adhere to crop rotation rules. In addition, do not thicken the planting, as the disease is especially active in onions in high humidity.
      If signs of rust have been noticed on several plants, pluck and burn them, and pour the bed abundantly with a pink solution of potassium permanganate or 1% solution of copper sulfate.

      If the lesion is massive, pour the bed with a solution of HOMA (30 g per 10 liters of water). Repeat the procedure after 20 days.
      In addition, do not feed diseased plants with nitrogen-containing fertilizers. Instead, pour a solution of potassium sulfate (1 tsp per 10 l of water) at the rate of a bucket of composition per 1 sq.m. If there is no mineral fertilizer, sprinkle the bed with sifted wood ash (200 g per 1 sq. M).
