Abstract: Effect of pre-harvest treatments involving different chemicals viz salisylic acid, calcium chloride, boric acid, azoxystrobin, carbendazim and putrescine on storage life of onion was studied. Among the treatments, minimum physiological loss in weight (14.66 %) was recorded in salisylic acid (2mM) (T2) treatment. Application of salisylic acid (4mM) (T3) showed minimum sprouting (3.74 %). Whereas minimum rotting (7.76 %) was recorded in azoxystrobin (0.05 %) (T8) and application of carbendazim (0.1 %) (T9) showed maximum (61.87 %) recovery of marketable bulbs at the end of 90 days of storage. Hence from the present study it can be concluded that salisylic acid, azoxystrobin and carbendazim are found to be effective in maintaining the storage life of onion when compared to the control.
