Abstract
SUMMARYIn 2 years, 1972 and 1973, onion bulbs were harvested on various dates, graded into a range of sizes and stored at ambient temperatures. Periodic assessments showed that the number of bulbs that both rotted and sprouted increased with increasing bulb size. Although rotting can be controlled with benomyl seed dressing the increased tendency of large bulbs to sprout could have commercial implications. The date of commencement of sprouting was not affected by bulb size, but the percentage increase of sprouting was faster in the larger bulbs. Delayed harvesting also led to increased sprouting in store.
