Author(s) : HANCOCK C. T., EPPERSON J. E.
Type of article: Article
Summary
DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF VIDALIA ONION SHIPMENTS AND PRICES OVER 7 YEARS AND A RESEARCH PROGRAMME TO EXTEND STORAGE LIFE BEYOND THE MAXIMUM 6 WEEKS UNDER REFRIGERATION BY USING CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE, IS DESCRIBED. THE COSTS OF A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE FACILITY AND ONION STORAGE COSTS ARE EVALUATED, BUT THE PRESENT SELLING PRICE OF ONIONS DOES NOT WARRANT THE INVESTMENT. G.R.S.
