[A] disease issue being tackled is an onion rot, which starts at the top of the bulb. Eric Feibert, Malheur Experiment Station [Oregon State University] said the source of the problem is not known. Also unknown is when the rot starts to happen. The rot prevents onions from being fully developed. The disease can develop in the field or in storage.
Feibert is leading research on 2 varieties of onions and said those onions are checked on a weekly basis to try and see when the disease shows up.
