In India, presently about 35 to 40 per cent of the onion is estimated to be lost as postharvest losses during various operations including handling and storage. Serious losses occur during storage due to sprouting and rotting. Keeping this in view, an investigation was carried out to study the effect of different packing and storage methods on storage life of aggregatum onion cv. CO on 5. This experiment was conducted at Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2008-2010 and laid out in factorial completely randomized design (FCRD) with eight treatments and three replications. Pre-harvest spray with growth inhibitors and fungicides were given. |
