The article presents materials on the main onion diseases during storage, the main types of fungi causing rot of stored products and monitoring the intensity of their development. In vegetable stores, about 20 species of micromycetes develop. The main ones are grey rot, bacterial and black aspergillosis, penicillosis.

The research was conducted in 2017-2018. in vegetable stores in Tashkent.

As a result of the research, 27 species of phytopathogenic micromycetes from 15 genera and 5 families were identified.
