Date of lifting experiments with four varieties of onion at two centres are examined in relation to the incidence of losses in store, and at one centre the effects of indoor and outdoor storage are compared. Losses due to Botrytis , eelworm infection and sprouting are treated separately, and the practical significance of the results is discussed.
