Shelf life of kharif onion as influenced by curing and storage with foliage.

Agrifound Dark Red onions were subjected to various combinations of postharvest treatments prior to storage (foliage removal at harvest or no foliage removal, curing in sun or a solar drier or no curing, foliage removal before or after curing). The bulbs were stored for 4 months in bamboo baskets under ambient conditions from Dec. to Mar. Percentage sprouting was lowest in bulbs cured in sun with foliage attached and stored with dry foliage, and in bulbs stored with foliage attached without curing (28.2% in both treatments). Percentage loss due to decay (mainly Fusarium oxysporum) ranged from 1.81 to 6.76%; the lowest loss (1.81%) occurred in bulbs stored with foliage removed at harvest and no curing. Physiological weight loss was related to total losses. Percentage total loss was highest in bulbs with foliage removed at harvest and cured in sun before storage (67.16%), and lowest in bulbs cured in sun with foliage attached and stored with dry foliage (56.35%) followed by bulbs cured in sun with foliage attached but with dry foliage removed prior to storage (61.18%).
