Abstract
Eight short-day onion cultivars were grown for storability assessment under natural ventila- tion. The bulbs of the various cultivars had different colours, skin thickness and flavours. They differed in shape and shape uniformity. Physiological weight loss at the end of the 6 months of storage in all the cultivars ranged 35 - 90 per cent. Rots and sprouts were generally low in the red onion bulbs. Sprouting became pronounced when the mean monthly night tern- peranres fell to 22 °C. All the red bulbs vis. Bawku Red, HA-226 and Red Creole showed good storage performance. Belem-IPA-9 with a yellow-brown skin colour also showed good storage performance. Gladalan, Galil, Gladiator and HA-95 exhibited poor storage performance.
