Well, depending upon what ‘white rot’ is, perhaps Sclerotinia sclerotiorum(?), you might try either biofumigation using something like Pacific Gold mustard, or solarize your growing area. We find solarization for 4 to 6 weeks, from mid-July through the end of August to be a very effective control for many fungal disease problems. Paul Wiediger Au Naturel Farm South Central Kentucky From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of alicia best Why is it that you don't know about the really bad stuff until you have it? I have 8 beds of garlic that the plant pathologist is 99.9% sure upon visual inspection is white rot. I am looking for any suggestions on how to handle this, short of shutting down my garlic and onions aspect of my growing operation. There doesn't seem to be much information on any organic methods for dealing with the fungus. I am hoping someone might have experience with cover cropping, anything..... I am not interested in spreading the fungus, but am looking for ways to possibly salvage some income from the crop. Any thoughts suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
