Watch out for

Allium leaf miner: Remove and burn affected foliage immediately after flowering to break the life cycle.

Onion white rot: Avoid planting alliums in infected soil for at least 10 years and ensure good drainage.

Onion downy mildew: Improve air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and remove severely infected plants.

Onion fly: Use insect-proof netting from early spring to mid-summer to exclude adult flies.

Bulb rot: Plant in well-drained soil or containers with grit to prevent saturation over winter.
