The onion crop requires 350 to 550 mm of water throughout the growth cycle. It is recommended to give frequent, light irrigations which are timed when about 25% of available water in the top 30 cm of soil is depleted. Irrigation intervals of 2-4 days are a common practice. Excessive irrigation sometimes gives rise to the occurrence of diseases such as mildew and white rot. Irrigation should be ceased 15 to 30 days before harvest. Late season irrigation might delay maturity and cause skin cracking.

Crop protection must also protect people.

Pesticides are powerful tools, but they are not the answer to every crop's problem. Before spraying, consider integrated pest management (IPM): crop rotation, resistant varieties, timely planting, and encouraging beneficial insects.

When pesticides are necessary, safety is non-negotiable:

READ THE LABEL – It’s not just advice, it’s the law. Follow dosage, mixing, and application instructions.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR – Gloves, mask, long sleeves, goggles, gumboots. No PPE, no spraying.
RESPECT THE WAITING PERIOD – Observe the pre-harvest interval. Spraying today and harvesting tomorrow puts poison on someone’s plate.
STORE SAFELY – Keep pesticides in original containers, locked away from children, food, and animals. Never reuse empty containers.

Responsible use protects the farmer, the consumer, the pollinators, and the environment we all share.

Dear Poultry farmers,

This year has so far been dryer and warmer than normal. As such, extremely high temperatures (over 40ºC) are expected in the coming months.

High temperatures are detrimental to poultry production. They lead to loss of condition and increased mortality in broilers as well as decreased egg production in layers.

How are you planning to deal with heat stress this dry season?

Understanding one disease can save you 50% of your pepper harvest.

That disease is Anthracnose.

It's one of the most destructive fungal diseases for peppers, tomatoes, mangoes and many other crops. Caused by _Colletotrichum_ spp., it thrives in warm, humid conditions and spreads rapidly during the rainy season.

The Infection Cycle - As shown in the diagram:

1. It starts small: Initial symptoms appear as Tip Blotch and Clown-face symptoms on lower leaves.
2. It spreads fast: The fungus spreads via rain splash to upper foliage, causing foliar lesions.
3. It attacks the profit: From leaves, it moves to flowers, fruit stems, and finally the fruit itself. This leads to stem rot, soft rot, fungal lesions, and complete fruit mold development.

A lesion of just 5-25mm is enough to make a fruit unmarketable.

The Impact:
On average, farmers experience:
- Potential yield reduction: 35-50%
- Direct Anthracnose losses: 35-50%

This is not just a cosmetic issue - it's a major economic threat to food security and farm profitability.

Key Management Strategies:

1. Prevention is best: Use certified disease-free seeds and maintain a planting distance of 60-80 cm for good air circulation.
2. Field Hygiene: Remove and destroy infected plant debris. Avoid working in fields when plants are wet.
3. Water Management: Use drip irrigation where possible and avoid overhead watering to limit rain splash dispersal.
4. Integrated Control: Practice crop rotation, use resistant varieties if available, and apply preventive fungicides (Mancozeb, Copper-based or Chlorothalonil) early, before symptoms escalate.

Early detection is critical. Scout your fields weekly, especially after heavy rains.

Have you dealt with Anthracnose in your fields? What management practice has worked best for you? Let's share knowledge below.
