Yield and postharvest storability of lowland-grown onion genotypes.

Six onion genotypes - Crioula Lote (Granja Wilson) 132, Crioula Lote 231, Crioula Lote 245, Baia Periforme (Isla), Norte 14 (Feltrin) and Baia Periforme (Topseed) - were grown at the Federal University of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil, in 1995 and 1996. Yields of marketable bulbs were over 20 t/ha for all genotypes under study. Yields of Crioula genotypes were the highest, quantitatively and qualitatively. Marketable bulb yields, culls, average bulb weight and yields of bulb grades 2 and 3 were significantly different between genotypes. After 100 days of storage (at ambient temperature), bulb weight loss was approximately 15% for all genotypes. No significant interaction between genotypes and storage period was found. Losses in bulb weight and bulb number correlated with storage period.
