Résumé

This guide is a practical guide to onion storage methods and their selection based on scientific findings, practical experience and traditional knowledge. It aims to provide those involved in onion storage with the information they might need to improve existing storage methods or to develop new types of stores suited to their local circumstances. The manual is divided into 3 main sections, consisting of: background information (bulb physiology; factors affecting the storability of onions; conditioning and storage regimes; requirements of onion stores); methods of storage and planning the store system; examples of onion storage (local ambient stores; ambient and refrigerated stores utilizing forced aeration; experimental onion stores; storage of onions in controlled atmospheres). Appendices give: examples of an onion store inspection record, planned maintenance programme and international quality standards; packaging of onions; technical data; calculation of store capacity; and notes on the design of aeration systems.
