 Same happened with me when I first discovered white rot, the plant did not look too bad, it just had little to no roots. On reading about the disease I became much more concerned.

 After that I diligently patrolled my onion patch, tugging on each onion. Any that came up easily were disposed of well away from my plot. I managed to save 50% of my onions this way. If I hadn't done this they probably would have all succumbed.
