Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Large onion sets were more liable to bolt than small sets.
- Intervention effect Sets produced at high temperature under glass were practically free of bolting regardless of storage conditions.
- Intervention effect Winter storage for 22 weeks at 30d̀ C. practically eliminated bolting.
- Intervention effect Storage at 30d̀ C. in the first eight weeks reduced bolting.
- Intervention effect Storage at 30d̀ C. in the last eight weeks was less effective against bolting than in the first eight weeks.
- Intervention effect Cold storage throughout winter reduced bolting.
- Intervention effect Cold storage in the first eight weeks reduced bolting.
- Intervention effect Cold storage in the last eight weeks tended to increase bolting.
- Intervention effect High-temperature storage caused weight loss, reaching a maximum of 75%.
- Association The maximum weight-loss treatment was associated with 77% field mortality.
- Observation The detrimental survival effect was confined to sets produced at high temperature.
- Observation Sets produced at lower temperatures showed no high mortality during or after high-temperature storage.
- Mechanism Water loss did not explain the reduction in bolting after high-temperature storage.
- Intervention effect High storage temperature throughout winter delayed bulb ripening.
- Intervention effect High storage temperature in the last eight weeks delayed bulb ripening.
- Intervention effect High storage temperature in the last eight weeks produced larger yields.
- Intervention effect High-temperature storage in the first eight weeks did not produce the ripening delay or yield increase.
