| [ Music ] | Against a black background, large white text reads, How to Diagnose Onion Bacterial Bulb Rots. |
| [ Music ] | An image of an onion sliced in half is shown at the right of the new screen. The inner layers appear normal but there is visible mushy, gray rot spreading from the neck of the bulb downward. The onion's outer layers, remain intact. To the left side of the image, white text appears on screen. Text reads, Bulb rotting bacteria enter the bulb through the neck. Bacterial bulb may affect a single scale... |
| [ Music ] | The image transitions to a new photo: Two halves of a chopped white onion are now shown side by side. Inside, the rot a slightly gray discoloration is isolated to a single scale or layer within the onion, while the surrounding layers remain mostly unaffected. Text appears over the image, Bacterial Bulb rot may affect a single scale. Then the words, Several Scales appear, as another image fades in. |
| [ Music ] | The image transforms, to another image this time showing multiple layers in two half's on an onion appearing to have the gray bacterial bulb rot within, between every couple of normal appearing layers. |
| [ Music ] | A new image of a red onion chopped in half the outer layers are red and slightly gray. The inner layer are white. Text reads, Only the outer scales... |
| [ Music ] | An image of a white onion in half. The inner three layers appear to have, mushy, gray rot spreading from the neck of the bulb downward. Text reads, only the inner scales... |
| [ Music ] | The image changes again to show an entire onion sliced in half. The inside is completely rotted, with layers that appear mushy, and gray in color. The decay fills the entire bulb, giving it a soft appearance. The outer skin remains intact, but the interior shows advanced spoilage. Text reads, or the whole bulb. |
| [ Music ] | A new screen appears. On the right side, there's an image of a red onion sliced open. The inner layers have shrunk and appear water-soaked, with a transparent white, mushy texture. The outer skin still holds some of its reddish color, but the contrast with the soft, pale interior is clear. To the left side of the screen, white text reads: Rotten tissue looks water soaked. The text fades out, and a new image appears beside it this time, of a white onion. The outer layers look soggy and light brown, showing signs of decay, while the inner layers remain bright white and unaffected. New text appears on the left, reading: Rotten tissue may be light brown. |
| [ Music ] | A dark brown streak within a rotten layer of a white onion. Text reads, dark brown. The image transforms, this time another white onion, the inner layers appear shriveled and off white. Text beside reads, or yellowish green. |
| [ Music ] | In red onions rot may be pink or blue green. An image of a red onion soggy pink and deep purple inner layers. |
| [ Music ] | Text to the left reads, Rotten bulb tissue can be mushy or macerated. The screen now shows two halves of an onion, freshly pulled from the ground. Though the outer skin appears intact, the insides are entirely rotted mushy, shrunken, and brown throughout. The layers have collapsed inward, with no firm or healthy tissue visible. The rot is advanced, affecting the full interior of the bulb. |
| [ Music ] | A video clip plays. A person gently presses their fingers into the top of a whole red onion. The onion caves in easily under the pressure, like a foam ball, as the soft, layers beneath collapse. On the left side of the screen, text appears: To check for bulb rot, squeeze the neck area. |
| [ Music ] | Foam seeps out of the top slightly. Text to the left now reads, Liquid may exude from the neck of the rotten bulbs. |
| [ Music ] | An image of a half a red onion. Inside the inner core is green. Text to the left reads, Sprouting can also cause bulbs to feel soft. |
| [ Music ] | On the right side of the screen, footage shows a person cutting a red onion in half. Inside, both halves reveal layers that are murky white with patches of green blue discoloration. The person then lifts one half of the onion closer to their nose and sniffs it. Text to the left reads, Cut bulb in half check for rot |
| [ Music ] | Bacterial bulb rot is often stinky. |
| [ Music ] | Rot can smell sour or vinegary. Next to the text an image of a person making a disgusted facial expression with a scrunched nose. |
| [ Music ] | A clip of a woman raising an onion to her face upon smelling it she turn to the side and mimics vomiting. Text reads, Rot can also smell putrid. |
| [ Music ] | On screen is a close up image of a red onion, cut in half. The outer layers appear intact and healthy, with their usual deep reddish purple hue. However, the inner layers are a stark contrast completely mushy, shrunken, and brown. To the left side of the screen, white text appears, reading: When rot starts from the bottom of the bulb, it is usually a secondary infection. |
| [ Music ] | Bacterial Rot can follow Fusarium basal rot from the bottom. An image on half a red onion with a speck of brown rot at the bottom within the inner layer only and sandy colored rot at the root. |
| [ Music ] | A close up of the image into the rot at the root. Text to the left reads, Brown corky on the basal plate is typical of Fusarium basal rot. |
| [ Music ] | Against a black background, white bold text appears. Bacterial rot look alikes. |
| [ Music ] | Red onion with the root covered in white mold. Text reads Fluffy white mold is an external sign of Fusarium basal rot. |
| [ Music ] | Against a black background, white bold text appears. Bacterial rot look alikes. |
| [ Music ] | The image shows a white onion sliced cleanly down the middle. Near the neck area, a soft, grayish brown rot is clearly visible, spreading downward into the inner layers only reaching half way. The tissue around the neck is water-soaked, mushy, and discolored, with some gray mold growth Text reads, Botrytis neck rot is caused by a fungus. It usually moves uniformly through the scales. |
| [ Music ] | A close up image of the Botrytis neck rot. The black dots inside the rot are visible. Text reads, Look for fuzzy white growth and black sclerotia between scales. |
| [ Music ] | Externally, look for fuzzy gray sporulation and black sclerotia. An image of mold growing at the top of a white onion. |
| [ Music ] | A black dot inside a sliced onion. Text reads, Black mold is a fungus that can cause internal decay. |
| [ Music ] | On the outside of the bulbs, black mold causes tiny black spores along veins near the neck. |
| [ Music ] | Blue mold is another fungus that may cause internal decay. An image of specks of blue mold growing outside a red bulb. |
| [ Music ] | A close of of the mold with text now reading, On the outside of bulbs, look for greenish fuzzy growth. |
| [ Music ] | Internal dry scale extends into the bulb and may resemble rot. |
| [ Music ] | Dry scale is not associated with odor, maceration or sliminess. |
| [ Music ] | Rings of onions sliced across with transparent outer rings. Translucent scale may be caused by harvest during wet conditions, high drying temperature or bruising. |
| [ Music ] | Text continues, It causes grayish water soaking in the outer 1 to 3 scales only. It does not cause odor or sliminess. |
| [ Music ] | A close up image of translucent layers, the outer is not a opaque brown. Text to the left of the image reads, Translucent scale can be invaded by bacteria, and then it turns brown. |
