HC Deb 16 February 1982 vol 18 c71W
Mr. Freud

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will list recent incidents of white rot in the onion crop; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

Incidents of white rot in onions are not recorded. The disease is established here and occurs mainly on salad onions. It can be controlled by seed treatment and by spraying the growing crop. Growers can obtain advice on these methods from the Agricultural Development and Advisory Service.
