Request for Proposal: Future proofing onion health: management of rot diseases of onions (VN24002)
Horticulture Innovation Australia (Hort Innovation) is a not-for-profit, grower-owned Research and Development Corporation (RDC) for Australia’s $16.3 billion horticulture industry. Hort Innovation invests around $154 million in research and development (R&D) and marketing programs annually to provide benefit to industry and the wider community.
Hort Innovation is seeking a suitably qualified, experienced and capable delivery partner for the project: Future proofing onion health: management of rot diseases of onions (VN24002).
This investment aims to deliver on the following key objectives:
• Evaluate crop rotation, cover crops, and soil amendment strategies to promote inoculum decline and enhance soil resilience against Fusarium basal rot.
• Develop optimised nutrition management strategies that reduce the risk of fusarium basal rot while maintaining onion yield and quality.
• Explore nurse crop approaches to mitigate Fusarium basal rot risk, minimise crop stress, and protect seedlings during the early growth stages.
• Optimise the application of biostimulants, biologicals, and chemical treatments to maximise their efficacy against soilborne diseases in onions, with a focus on Fusarium basal rot and pink root.
• Demonstrate cost-effective disease management programs for fusarium basal rot by integrating cultural, biological, and chemical strategies across diverse environmental conditions.
• Conduct preliminary research on additional priority diseases, such as bacterial and pink root, to evaluate their prevalence, impact, and potential management solutions.
