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.

European agricultural standards for crops.

Agricultural mulching techniques for large crops, All articles

In this opportunity we will present a report on the European agricultural standards for crops currently operating in the EU.

This body of legislation regulates everything related to European agriculture and the products derived from it, as well as its impact on all the continent’s markets and its safe, sustainable, traceable and environmentally friendly impact, protecting both the farmer and the end consumer.

By 2026, these European agricultural standards for crops are still fully in force and are applied under a rigorous level of control, technical requirements and traceability, especially in relation to the use of soils, agricultural inputs and compliance with regulations that protect our ecosystem.

We will study what they consist of, how to apply them correctly and what are the benefits we obtain by being consistent with these regulations, and on the other hand, the penalties that apply when these specifications are overlooked.

We will also learn how our agricultural projects can be viable with optimal profitability in the medium and long term, adopting an ecological vision in accordance with our environmental needs.

For decades, agricultural plastic has been a standard in most horticultural tasks, and its use remains integrated as an established and necessary custom to obtain satisfactory results when dealing with the appearance of weeds such as nutsedge, controlling soil moisture or evaporation, achieving uniformity in crop development, and avoiding costs in the manual tasks typical of each traditional sowing cycle.

However, the progressive evolution of cultivation techniques in different environments and the growing need to simplify these tasks, as well as reduce polluting waste and implement materials with greater adaptability to diverse agricultural requirements, have promoted the creation of advanced and highly effective agricultural alternatives, such as Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch; fully aligned with current and sustainable demands.

Tomato plant diseases represent one of the greatest challenges for farmers and horticulturists. Today, tomato cultivation is highly valued worldwide, even though it is particularly vulnerable to various pathogens due to its delicate physiology, fluctuations in ambient humidity, and high nutrient requirements. All these characteristics make tomato plants an easy target for fungi, bacteria, viruses, and physiological disorders.

On this occasion, we will work together to learn how to detect tomato diseases, identify their symptoms, and implement sustainable prevention and control measures to protect the health of our crops, as well as ensure more abundant and higher-quality harvests.
