I have grown Onions from seeds in the past and was quite successful but for the last few years I have been using sets. I did have problems with white rot on Mill Green Plot 1A and I tried growing on my old plot on Spencer Road and still had white rot problems.
I think the art is to watch and harvest as soon as one sees the signs of white rot and of course rotate the crops on the plot. I have decided that it's once again time to try growing Onions from seeds and I have just ordered some exhibition seeds.

Redlander F1 - D.T.Brown
The world's first downy mildew resistant variety, for reliable crops of delicious red globe onions. Expect excellent yields of mild tasting, large red bulbs which store very well when kept in cool, dark and dry conditions. The bulbs are of good quality and have a mellow flavour which is well suited for serving in summer salads.

In the beds where I historically had some white rot in 2022, I have grew Calient Mustard that's a great organic means of creating a soil environment that's uninviting to the disease.

Despite its common name, this perennial onion is widely grown in its native China and Japan. Virtually evergreen, this versatile onion is great for giving a continuous supply of leaves and 'spring' onions through the year, plus white flowers in summer. It has a slightly stronger flavour than chives.
