Common Onion Diseases in WI
Botrytis Neck Rot
Botrytis allii
Botrytis Leaf Blight
Botrytis squamosa
Purple Blotch
Alternaria porri
Downy Mildew
Peronospora destructor
Bacterial Rots
Pseudomonas and
Pectobacterium spp.
Botrytis Neck Rot
omafra
sherf
•Common disease in stored onions with previous injury
•Favored by cool, wet conditions and poor drying and curing of onions
•Infected bulbs rot in storage
•Fungicides are generally ineffective for neck rot control
Botrytis Leaf Blight
•Widespread fungal disease of onion
•Favored by warm, humid weather – mid to late season
•Causes blighting and early death of leaves, undersized bulbs, low yield
•Fungicides can control Botrytis leaf blight
Purple Blotch
wikia
•Common in many US onion-growing regions – overwinters in residue
•Promoted by long periods of rain or heavy dew
•Often seen with other fungal diseases
•Fungicides can control Purple blotch
Downy Mildew
•Serious yet sporadic disease
•Driven by cool, moist conditions
•Causes blighting and early death of leaves, undersized bulbs, low
yield, poor storability
•Fungicides can control Downy mildew
Bacterial Rots
•Widespread and destructive storage disease of onions
•Initiated right before or at harvest of bulbs
•Bacteria reside in soil and plant debris – maggots can spread disease
•Infection typically occurs after plant becomes wounded (hail damage)
or leaves senesce
•Disease favored by warm and wet conditions
•Copper-containing fungicides applied quickly after rain/hail event can
aid in curing of wounds and limit bacterial infection
Bacterial Rots
•Management options include cultural and chemical methods
•Minimize injury to maturing and harvested bulbs
•Harvest bulbs after necks are appropriately dried
•Dry onions thoroughly before storage, and store at temp of 3233°F and at >70%RH with good ventilation
•Avoid highly susceptible varieties such as Spanish sweet
types - there are no resistant varieties
•Control insects such as maggots
•Copper-containing fungicides applied quickly after rain/hail
event can aid in curing of wounds and limit bacterial infection
•Copper-containing fungicides are ineffective if applied after
symptoms develop
Best Cultural Management Practices
For Onion Diseases in WI
•Plant disease-free seedlings or sets
•Do not plant >0.25 inch below soil surface
•Rotate crops (out of Alliaceae family) for 2-3 years
•Scout regularly for early signs of pest/disorder
•Destroy volunteers or cull onions to reduce pathogen
•Field sanitation – remove onion debris
•Avoid late season N application
•Avoid harvest injuries, harvest mature bulbs with a few
inches of neck remaining, and harvest in dry weather
•Proper drying conditions prior to storage (~90°F for >5 days)
Onion Fungicides
•When fungicides are needed, apply effective
materials, providing good coverage, at appropriate
times
•Excessive rainfall promotes many diseases and
interferes with timing and persistence of fungicides
•With currently >50 fungicides registered for use on
onions in WI, selection of appropriate materials can
be confusing
Onion Fungicides
•Start of fungicide program can vary depending upon the weather
– but by mid-June environmental conditions may favor disease and
preventative programs should start
•Disease forecast tool may dictate start, or threshold of lesions
(such as average of 1 Botrytis leaf blight lesion/plant/field)
•Use of broad spectrum protectants such as chlorothalonil
(Botrytis & Purple blotch) and mancozeb (Downy mildew) are good
first choices
•Control of some diseases can be further enhanced by alternating
broad spectrum materials with site-specifics such as: strobilurins,
triazoles, and other classes
•Tank-mixing mancozeb and/or chlorothalonil with sitespecific materials can provide syngergistic control (and good
resistance management)
•Use chlorothalonil judiciously, <6 applications/season (6-10
applications of chlorothalonil can suppress yields)
