Garlic solution to reduce onion white rot?

Has anyone tried watering in garlic solution to help reduce onion white rot? I've read varying reviews and know it isn't a proper cure, but am wondering if it may be worth a try.

 

Garlic solution could well have an effect on the problem. The White Rot Fungus exists in the soil as sclerotia ( dormant bodies ) which are stimulated to germinate by volatile compounds released by the Allium family. Once germinated they invade the bulb and produce fresh sclerotia which then reinfects the soil . If they are tricked into germination by the garlic solution they will then die , as they have no host to infect. Sounds well worth a try.
