SUMMARY From the results for the onion varieties examined it is demonstrated that high relative rates of water loss and high total water losses are characteristic of non‐keeping types. This is so especially in the period immediately succeeding harvest, and the argument is therefore put forward that actual keeping tests are unnecessary when classifying, for example, new lines as keepers and non‐keepers.
