- Intervention effect Increasing mutagen doses decreased germination, seedling height and survival.
- Intervention effect Increasing mutagen doses decreased bulb weight and seed setting.
- Observation Mutagen damage varied among the onion varieties.
- Observation White Warangal suffered greater reduction in bulb weight and survival.
- Observation Spontaneous chlorophyll mutations occurred in all three onion varieties.
