| dc.description.abstract | An investigation on studies on curing and storage of onion was carried out at the Department of Post harvest Technology, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi during 2010-2011. Among the different curing methods, the onion bulbs cured under 35 per cent shade with foliage gave good results with respect to both physical and chemical parameters. The time taken for curing of onion bulbs in 35 per cent shade was about 264 hours. The bulbs cured under 35 per cent shade showed minimum physiological loss in weight (15.21%), sprouting (14.09%), rotting (9.22%), black mould incidence (4.16%), per cent loss of scales (14.24%), dry matter (12.85%) and maximum moisture (87.15%), hardness (9.84 kg/cm2 ), ascorbic acid retention (7.45 mg/100g), total soluble solids (14.22%) and total sugars (7.92%) after 60 days of storage. The highest per cent of marketable bulbs (61.48%) was also observed in the same treatment in cv. Bellary Red after 60 days of storage which was followed by the bulbs cured under 35 per cent shade without foliage. Among the different storage methods, the onion bulbs stored under bamboo battens storage structure with AC sheet roofing with bottom and side ventilation gave good results with respect to both physical and chemical parameters. They showed minimum physiological loss in weight (9.86%), rotting (4.20%), black mould incidence (3.50%), dry matter (15.44%), per cent loss of scales (13.08%) and maximum moisture content (84.56%), hardness (13.28 kg/cm2 ), total soluble solids (16.20%), ascorbic acid retention (8.48mg/100g) and total sugars (12.00%) after 90 days of storage. The highest per cent marketable bulbs (85.94%) was also observed in bulbs stored under bamboo battens storage structure with AC sheet roofing with bottom and side ventilation in cv. Agri Found Light Red after 90 days of storage. Among the different storage conditions the highest net returns (Rs. 395.78) and highest return per rupee spent (1.62) was found in the bulbs stored under bamboo battens with AC sheet roofing and with bottom and side ventilation followed by bulbs stored under galmenium sheet roofing and mangalore tile roofing | en_US |
