Spring onion, red or sugar? Soda acts as a protective shield on them
Another, equally effective way to protect onion crops is spraying with baking soda. Just dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in 2 liters of water and add 5-6 ml of gray liquid soap to the resulting solution. Mix everything thoroughly and spray the plants thoroughly.
