INFLUENCE OF STORAGE TEMPERATURES ON EARLY SPROUTING AND DISEASES OF ONION BULBS.

Author(s) : BERTOLINI P., TONINI G., FOLCHI A.

Summary

ONIONS OF THE DORATA DI PARMA CULTIVAR, HARVESTED DURING TWO SUCCESSIVE YEARS, WERE STORED135 AND 150 DAYS AT 273, 278, 283, 288, 293, 298 AND 303 K (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 AND 30 DEG C). STORAGE AT TEMPERATURES LOWER THAN 278 K AND NEAR 303 K FAVOURED DORMANCY, WHEREAS TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 283 AND 298 K CAUSED AN EARLY TERMINATION OF DORMANCY. AT THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE, THERMOPHILIC FUNGI SUCH AS ASPERGILLUS NIGER CAUSED CONSIDERABLE LOSSES. INCREASING STORAGE TEMPERATURES CAUSED A GRADUAL DECREASE IN FRUCTOSE CONTENT, WHEREAS SUCROSE CONTENT INCREASED REMARKABLY.
