An agronomist's advice for Zainab's onions farm in Eastern Province
Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on failing irrigation in the dry months.
Anywhere in the world1,260 views
I farm 5 hectares of onions in Eastern Province. This season I'm dealing with failing irrigation in the dry months. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
Thank you for reading my story.
