- In early stages, ensure a continuous supply of water through irrigation

- Control pests like onion thrips using suitable insecticide

- Control diseases like purple blotch by spraying with a suitable fungicide

- Remove the soil so that the bulb is exposed once it starts forming (carry out hardening).
