e0“Bulb dry matter content, pungency and rotting percentage were not significantly affected by P fertilization and the lack of response may be due to the availability of adequate amount of P (16.02 ppm) in the soil.”

- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization decreased bulb dry matter content by about 4% versus the control.
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen improved onion pungency, reaching 2.72 µmol ml-1 at 138 kg N ha-1.
- Intervention effect The highest nitrogen level caused the greatest cumulative bulb weight loss over eight weeks.
- Intervention effect The highest phosphorus level caused the greatest cumulative bulb weight loss over eight weeks.
- Observation The reported bulb sprouting percentage was 63% for a treatment described as receiving 69 kg P ha-1.
- Observation The reported bulb sprouting percentage was 53% with 40 kg P ha-1.
- Observation Nitrogen at 115 was associated with about 2.9% bulb rotting.
- Observation Nitrogen at 138 kg ha-1 was associated with about 2.9% bulb rotting.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization did not significantly affect pungency.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization did not significantly affect rotting percentage.
