Author(s): Supriya AT, Jagadeesh SL and Mansur CP
Abstract: Onion var. Arka Kalyan was imposed with different pre-harvest foliar sprays 15 days prior to harvest. Bulbs were cured after harvesting and stored under ambient condition for 3 months to study black mould disease incidence and marketable life as influenced by treatments. Observations were recorded for bulb yield, number of bulbs per kg and bulb diameter to understand the impact of foliar sprays on these parameters. Black mould disease incidence and marketable bulbs were recorded at monthly intervals for 3 months. Pre-harvest application of carbendazim @ 0.1 per cent contained minimum black mould disease incidence (2.24%), maximum (61.87 %) marketable bulbs followed by azoxystrobin @ 0.05 per cent (2.46%, 57.00% respectively) at the end of 90 days storage. Among different pre-harvest foliar sprays, carbendazim and azoxystrobin were found helpful in maintaining the storage life of onion.
