Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Bulb size was scarcely related to storage sprouting within the same cultivar and management.
- Association Round bulbs had the lowest combined loss from sprouting and decay.
- Association Bulbs with solid flesh and firm necks tended to sprout and shrink less.
- Association Soluble solids and dry matter content had a strong positive significant correlation.
- Observation Soluble solids increased from the top to base of the bulb and from outer to inner scales.
- Association Soluble solids content had a strong negative significant correlation with storage sprouting.
- Association Soluble solids content was closely related to total sugar, especially reducing sugar, and soluble nitrogen.
- Observation During sprouting, sugar, nitrogen and dry matter components declined more in outer and inner scales than in middle scales.
- Observation Soluble solids declined in each bulb part during sprouting.
- Method / resource Harvest-time refractometer measurements of soluble solids could estimate general storage sprouting levels within a similarly managed cultivar.
