Onions are New Zealand’s largest fresh vegetable export commodity, returning revenue of $101 M per annum. Production in many regions is becoming uneconomic due to the presence of Allium white rot. The causal agent, Sclerotium cepivorum Berk., is a soil-borne pathogen that survives as small sclerotia, usually 0.25–0.6 mm diameter, formed on the tissue of host plants. These sclerotia can survive in the soil for a number of years, reinfecting subsequent crops. Traditionally, detection of inoculum in the soil relies on laborious soil sieving and counting of sclerotia. The current research reports on the development of a quantitative PCR method for detection of propagules of Sclerotium cepivorum in soil using a species-specific probe. In preliminary trials, quantitation has proven accurate and sensitive, with 1–100 sclerotia detected in 20 g of soil. The incorporation of a sucrose centrifugation and sieving step shows potential for later diagnostic use, reducing the amount of soil up to 500 fold, whilst maintaining 96% recovery of sclerotia. Suggestions are made for further enhancement of this research, and development of a diagnostic service for onion growers is discussed in relation to disease prediction and indexing.
