To study about the better performance of Rabi onion genotype under storage condition

Abstract

Twenty-one genotypes were evaluated for different characters of storage behaviour of onion crop was carried out during rabi season of the year 2019-20 at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kalyanpur; Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in randomised complete block design with three replications. The experimental material consisting of twenty-one genotypes of onion maintained at the DOGR Nasik Maharashtra were utilized. Storage study revealed that OC 18-68 has recorded minimum total loss in weight (16.06 %), minimum rotting of bulbs (7.49 %) and minimum sprouting of bulbs was recorded in OC 18-61 (1.30%) after four months storage was found outstanding in overall storage quality viz. (total loss in weight; % of sprouting bulb; % of rotten bulbs) genotype are most suitable and considerable genotype of onion under regional climatic condition of Central Uttar Pradesh.
