Abstract

Gamma irradiation (0.03 kGy ± 25%) effects on onions bulbs from local cultivar were studied. The treatment proved to be effective in reducing weight loss and increasing the percentage marketable bulbs. Radiation-induced darkening in marketable irradiated bulbs had no influence on their inner aspect.
