Abstract
Introducing new plants to an area may have both positive and negative effects on the environment, economy and community. To minimise the negative environmental impact of introducing new agricultural species, DPIRD conducts a risk assessment procedure based on widely accepted scientific standards. This report assesses Allium cepa. Onions are a root vegetable which are widely cultivated around the world. A. cepa is only known from cultivation, however onions are part of the Allium genus which contains over 300 species.
