“…Giza 20 is characterized by having a high capability to control sprouting phenomena under the local storage condition at North Delta. The differences between onion cultivars in respect to storability were reported by many investigators such as El-Kafoury et al, 1996;Abbey et al, 2000;Leilah et al, 2003 andMarey andMorsy 2010. N-fertilizer source had a significant effect on total weight loss of onion bulbs at all storage periods (Table 8).…”

There is a recent tendency to use organic and slow release fertilizers in crops as a natural and safe substance. Two field experiments were carried out during winter seasons of 2008/09 and 2009/10 at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt, to compare the effect of different sources of nitrogen fertilizer: 6 tons compost/fed, 8 tons compost/fed, 10 tons compost/fed, 30 kg N/fed, as Enciabein (Enc., a commercial trade name of slow release N fertilizer), 60 kg N (Enc.)/fed, 90 kg N (Enc.)/fed and 90 kg N/fed as ammonium nitrate on growth, yield, quality, macroelements contents and storability of onion bulb cultivars (Giza 20 and Giza Red).The results showed that Giza Red onion cultivar had the highest means of vegetative growth i.e.(plant height, No. of leaves/plant, bulb diameter, neck diameter, bulb fresh weight and plant fresh and dry weight at 90 and 120 days after transplanting , marketable and total bulbs yield/fed, average bulb weight and bulb diameter compared with cv. Giza 20. ِ Application of 90 kg N/fed as mineral source produced the highest and significant values of plant height, number of leaves, neck diameter, bulb diameter, bulb fresh weight, plant fresh weight and plant dry weight. Application of 30 kg (Enc. /fed) or 6 t/fed compost resulted in the highest and significant dry matter content of bulbs.Giza Red cv. produced the highest and significant bulb fresh weight, plant fresh and dry weight, number of leaves, neck diameter, bulb diameter, bulb fresh weight, plant dry weight, marketable yield/fed, total yield/fed and average bulb weight under the application of 90 kg N/fed as mineral source, but it gave the lowest culls yield/fed. Meanwhile, application of 30 kg N (Enciabien) or application of 6 t/fed compost significantly increased bulbs dry matter content.Giza Red cv. with 90 kg N/fed (mineral) produced highest and significant marketable yield, total yield and average bulb weight, but it significantly decreased culls yield/fed. On the other hand, Giza 20 cv. with 30 kg N (Enciabien) produced highest and significant total soluble and dry matter content.Giza 20 cv. had the lower and significant P-content with the best of storability after 180 days storage period.

“…The variances between studied variety in storability may be due to the genetic variation between them. The obtained differences among onion genotypes concerning to storability were recorded by many researcher El-kafoury et al (1996), Abbey et al (2000), Leilah et al (2003) and Morsy et al (2011). Fertilization treatments significantly affected total loss % in both seasons.…”

This study was conducted at the experimental farm of Shandaweel Research Station, Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Sohag Governorate, during the two seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 to study the response of some onion varieties different fertilization treatments (without fertilization, 100% NPK, biofertilizer + humic acid, bio fertilizer + humic acid + nano-ZnO, 75% NPK + Biofertilizer + nano-ZnO, 50% NPK + biofertilizer + nano-ZnO, 75% NPK + humic acid + nano-ZnO, 50% NPK + humic acid + nano-ZnO, mineral NPK 75% + Biofertilizer + humic acid + nano-ZnO and mineral NPK 50% + Biofertilizer + humic acid + nano-ZnO). The highest means of bulb diameter were recorded for Shandaweel 1, while the lowest means were recorded for Giza 20, in both seasons. The highest means of bulb diameter were obtained under the treatment of 75% NPK + bio fert. + humic + nano-ZnO at 90 days in the second season and at 120 days in both seasons, while the treatment of 75% NPK + humic + nano-ZnO appeared the highest values of bulb diameter at 90 days in the first season. Shandaweel 1 variety attained the highest values of plant fresh weight and plant dry weight at 90 days in both seasons, while Giza 6 Mohassan recorded the lowest values at 90 days in the 2nd season. The treatments of 75% NPK+ bio fert. + humic + nano-ZnO appeared the highest values of plant fresh weight and plant dry weight at 90 days, while the treatment of 100% NPK appeared the highest values at 120 days, in both seasons. The highest values of average bulb weight, total yield/fed and exportable yield/fed, were obtained by planting of Giza 20 variety under 75% NPK + biofert. + humic + nano-ZnO, in both seasons. The highest values of local marketable yield/fed, were obtained by planting of Giza 20 variety under 75% NPK + humic + nano-ZnO, in both seasons. The highest means of TSS% were recorded under the treatment of no fertilization in both seasons, while the lowest means were obtained under the treatments of 75% NPK + humic + nano-ZnO, in the first season and under 50% NPK + humic + nano-ZnO in the second season.

“…The results are in collaboration with findings of Shanmugasundaram (2000), Shanmugasundaram (2003), Trivedi and Dhumal (2010), Jamali et al, (2012). Abbey et al, (2000) and Leilah et al, (2003) reported that the difference in storability of genotypes may be due to the genetic variation. The respiration heat might be responsible for higher weight loss of onion bulbs in the storage (Moazam, 1983).…”

An experiment was conducted to study the storage behavior among thirty onion genotypes under ambient condition for four months. The experiment results revealed that after four months of storage, the minimum per cent of sprouting was noticed in Bhima Shakti (7.68 %), while, the maximum per cent of sprouting was noticed in N-53 (15.10 %). The minimum per cent of rotting was observed in Bhima Shakti (7.34 %) and the maximum per cent of rotting was recorded in N-53 (14.78 %).With respect to total loss in weight, the cultivar Bhima Shakti (16.05 %) recorded minimum loss in weight after 4 months of storage, while, Poona Nasangi (28.63 %) recorded maximum loss in weight.
