Marketability of Onion

Allium cepa L.

Marketability of onions represents the proportion of bulbs that meet quality standards for size, shape, integrity, and lack of damage within the total crop volume.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Onion, where this is mentioned in the description.

The indicator is measured as a percentage of the total crop mass or in centners per hectare. Evaluation is carried out at the technical maturity stage, where non-marketable produce includes bulbs with mechanical damage, signs of rot, deformations, sprouting, or failure to meet the size specifications of the cultivar type.

High marketability for the crop is considered to be at the level of 90–95% and above, which serves as a criterion for the potential of a variety in breeding. The marketability value directly depends on bulb mass, dry matter content, susceptibility to bolting or scale cracking, and adherence to cultivation technology.
