DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Pseudomonas sp., Pectobacterium carotovorum and Enterobacter cloacae are phytopathogenic bacteria that can cause the disease known as bacterial rot in onions. These bacteria can survive in soil and infected plant debris, as well as in contaminated water and growing tools. They can enter the plant through surface wounds, mechanical damage or stomata, and once inside, they multiply rapidly and decompose plant tissues, causing disease.
SYMPTOMS
Bacterial rot in onions produces tissue decomposition, especially in the bulbs. The external caliphs look wrinkled and sunken, the fabrics are softened and a foul odor is perceived. At the beginning of the attack, the bulb appears firm to the touch, appearing to be a healthy bulb; however, when checking and squeezing the neck area, it appears moist and fluid appears. It preferentially manifests itself post-harvest and is the cause of export rejections.
• Soft bulbs with internal decomposition.
• Unpleasant odor due to tissue decomposition.
• Wet lesions at the base of the leaves.
• General weakening of the plant and reduced growth.
• In severe cases, it can cause the death of the plant.

• Use onion varieties that are resistant or tolerant to bacteria.
• Practice crop rotation to reduce pathogen pressure in the soil.
• Maintain good irrigation management to avoid excess humidity in the field.
• Dry the bulbs properly after harvesting to avoid bacterial proliferation.
• Disinfect cultivation tools and equipment to prevent the transmission of bacteria.
• Remove and destroy infected plants and bulbs to prevent spread.
