Onion

The first 6 to 8 weeks are especially vital for developing root growth in onions. Healthy soil creates a zone of protection from soil borne disease, buying time for the developing young plants to yield a healthy and vigorous onion root. We offer a number of solutions specified to each grower’s scenario.

There are a number of benefits of soil fumigation for onions:

• Protects young root formation
• Promotes healthy bulb development
• Better utilization of nutrients
• Requires less irrigation
• Longer harvest window
• Higher marketable yields

Common Onion Diseases and Pathogens:

• Nematodes (Root Knot)
• Phoma (Pink Root)
• Rhizoctonia
• Fusarium
• Pythium
• Phytophthora
• Rhizoctonia spp
• Collototricum spp

Soil fumigants are applied two to four weeks before the crop is planted. Formulations can be used on their own or co-applied with other fumigants. One pass and you are done – helping with residue management for erosion control, reduced application costs, lower pounds of active ingredient which can positively affect bufferzone allowances, a shorter plant back window, and broad-spectrum efficacy.
