- Intervention effect Growth stimulant treatments did not differ in onion yield, pungency or soluble solids after 6 months of controlled atmosphere storage.
- Intervention effect Growth stimulant treatments did not differ in equatorial bulb diameter or percent marketable bulbs after 6 months of controlled atmosphere storage.
- Association Pegasus onion cultivar had higher yield than the Wannamaker cultivar mix.
- Association Pegasus onion cultivar had lower soluble solids than the Wannamaker cultivar mix.
- Intervention effect Cytokinins increased percent marketable onion bulbs after 4.5 months of controlled atmosphere storage compared with the untreated check.
