I have three sets of heat treated onions, I planted some into cell trays and have had them in the cold farm to harden off, they have been sitting in the open for the past week I started planting them today and one of the sets have a white mould just under soil level, could this be white rot or just a mould, the other two sets are both clean of any mould

it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't plant the mouldy one just in case.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy -
It may be Basal root rot, not the same thing as onion white rot - they think this one comes in on the sets, which is why some people will only grow their onions from seeds.

I wouldn't have expected to see white rot yet. It normally becomes apparent later in the season.Comment
