I farm 2 hectares of onions in Punjab. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thanks for sharing this, Samina. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Hope it all works out, Samina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Take care, Samina. Small businesses are the heart of Multan. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Gdańsk but we're thinking of you. Love from Gdańsk.
