Bulb development depends on balanced nutrient uptake and root health
Shallow root architecture with limited nutrient foraging capacity
Sensitive to waterlogging, soil compaction, and sulfur deficiency
Key traits
Strengthens
Early root proliferation and establishment
Supports
A healthier root zone microbiome, providing competition against pathogens
Reduces
The impact of soil compaction on root growth and bulb formation
How Nando helps

Cultivation
focus:
Promoting strong early root establishment; ensuring adequate Sulfur (S) for flavour compounds and Potassium (K) for bulking and storage quality; managing soil-borne diseases

Common
challenges:
Soil-borne diseases (Fusarium basal rot, white rot, pink root); thrips infestation transmitting viruses; uneven bulb size and development; poor soil structure hindering bulb expansion
