Damping off disease in Onion nursery

  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature  along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season leads to the  development of this disease.  
  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and  seedling rot before emerging from the soil.  
  • Post-emergence damping off results in pathogens attacking the collar region of seedlings on the surface of soil.  
  • The collar portion rots and ultimately the  seedling collapse and die. 
  • Healthy seeds should be selected before sowing.
