Abstract
Early onions do not store well due to high percentage of rotting and sprouting compared with middle or late onions. The objective of this study was to find optimum storage methods for an early onion c.v.'Samnamjosaeng' by pre-drying and chemical treatments before summer storage. After a 4-month storage, rotting percentages of the early onion stored at 5C and room temperature showed the same results. However, when is was stored at 13.5C, rotting percentage was 54. The highest percentage of sprouting was 40.7 when stored at 13.5C. The lowest percentage of sprouting of 13% was obtained when stored at room temperature. Large bulbs (>200g) were more susceptible to rot than small bulbs (100g>). The treatments of sulfur and CaCO_3 were more effective for preventing bulbs from rotting than other chemicals, reducing the rotting by about 13%. High temperature and long periods of pre-drying significantly reduced rotting and sprouting. Drying at 45C for 48 hours at 15-day intervals for 120 days was most effective in reducing rotting and sprouting by more than three times as compared with the controls.
