Summary

Onions were stored for either shorter or longer periods in a shed for natural drying and gradual cooling before transfer to cold storage at 0-1 or 4-5 deg C, or into a store ventilated with ambient air. Cold, wet growing seasons produced better storage results, when the natural drying period was longer and combined with a gradual cooling. When artificially dried bulbs were transferred immediately from 21 to 2 deg C, no thermal shock or negative effect on storage was observed.
