These experiments were carried out to examine efficacy of soil solarization for control of pink root disease by means of mulching with transparent polyethylene sheets in the hot season. The effects of soil solarization on incidence of pink-root disease caused by Pyrenochaeta terrestris and on onion growth and on populations of soil fungi were investigated. Solarization was dramatically effective in reducing pink root incidence in onion seedling and harvested onion bulb. A 30-day and 40-day solarization treatment significantly improved seedling survival and increased yield of 'Changnyeong-deago' onion while decreasing incidence of pink root. Populations of soil fungi from fields planted to onion were assayed on selective media. Solarization treatment was effective in reducing populations of P. terrestris, Pythium spp., and Rhizoctonia sp. in soil. Increase of yield of onion bulbs was associated with control of soil-borne pathogenic fungi. Soil solarization had beneficial effects on yield, bulb diameter, or incidence of pink root.

Pink root of onion occurred in the fields of the Onion Experimental Station and in the main onion cultivation area in Korea in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The casual fungus of pink root was isolated only from apricot agar. Formation of pycnidia and pycnidiospores of the fungus was highest in alternating cycles of 12 hours near ultraviolet light and 12 hours in dark condition. Its morphological characteristics and pigment formation on water agar were identical with that of Pyrenochaeta terrestris. The optimum temperature for the growth of the fungus and disease development was $25-28^{\circ}C$. When onion seeds were inoculated with the spore suspension, incubated in test-tube and sown in potted soil, disease symptoms developed in onion roots 7 and 30 days after inoculation.

양파 연작지 토양의 담수기간에 따른 분홍색뿌리썩음병의 방제효과, 양파의 생육 및 수량을 조사한 결과 토양병원균의 밀도변화는 담수기간이 길수록 균밀도의 감소효과가 뚜렷하여 처리 후 90일에는 무담수에 비해 $1/2{\sim}1/3$ 수준으로 감소하였지만 양파 재배후 균밀도는 담수직후 보다는 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 양파 육묘상 담수처리에 의한 분홍색뿌리썩음병의 방제효과는 담수 60일 이상 처리에서 $93.5{\sim}99.2%$였고, 뿌리이병율도 무담수에 비해 $1/11{\sim}1/18$ 수준으로 크게 감소하였다. 양파 재배포장에서의 발병율 또한 담수 60일 이상 처리에서 5% 미만으로 크게 감소하였다. 양파의 구중과 상품수량은 무담수에 비해 담수처리에서 증가되었으며, 담수기간이 길어질수록 대구의 비율이 늘어나는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같이 양파 분홍색뿌리썩음병이 심하게 발생하고 있는 연작지에 양파를 정식하기 전에 담수처리를 할 경우, 적어도 2년간, 60일 이상 담수처리를 하였을 때 효과적으로 분홍색뿌리썩음병균의 밀도와 병발생을 경감시킬 수 있으며, 정상적인 양파 육묘 및 생육에 의한 구비대로 수량 증수효과가 클 것으로 판단된다.
