FARMVLOG #183 uien, bieten schoffelen, uienvlieg

We finally had rain last Tuesday. Precipitation on the plots varied enormously from 30 to 4 mm. On a plot of onions where 30 mm had fallen (of which 25 mm in 10 minutes), we dug trenches to the ditch anyway. And on Saturday the closed ground was hoeed again. Fortunately, the relative humidity has also risen considerably, so that the crops are finally growing well. There were also a few dark days, which made selecting the seed potatoes easier. The virus plants were beautiful to see. You can also see how the larvae of the onion fly eat onion plants, despite the fact that we use the sterile male technique. I really wonder why the seed coating of our crops with the insecticide neonicotinoid is no longer allowed, while our cat wears a collar with the same product Imidacloprid to prevent ticks and fleas. #farmersvlog #arable farmingvlog #onion hoeing #seedpotato selection #onionfly #masseyferguson
