To prevent the formation of fungal and bacterial spores, which can cause decay and make bulbs unusable, use a broad-spectrum, protectant fungicide on your leaves. The product contains zinc, iron, and manganese that help keep the tops healthy after spraying, and it is effective in controlling common onion diseases such as Downy, Powdery, Blight, Neck Rot, Purple Blotch, and Botrytis. Moreover, this fungicide can be used on almost all fruits and vegetables.
