Onion Leaf Blight Threatens Rabi Crop: Experts Offer Cure

• Leaf blight, a serious fungal disease, rapidly spreads in onion crops during February, especially in Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region.
• The disease causes brown spots on leaves, leading to drying and shedding, which hinders photosynthesis and bulb growth.
• Leaf blight spreads quickly from plant to plant, impacting crop yield and causing onions to spoil faster during storage.
• Experts recommend spraying 2 ml of Mancozeb per liter of water or 2 ml of neem oil per liter of water as effective biofungicide treatments.
