Table III. ^{minus1 minus1}Root incidence of Sherpa onions measured 35 weeks after harvest (6 weeks of curing and then transfer to cold storage) treated before or after curing with 10 μL L⁻¹ ethylene and/or 1 μL L⁻¹ 1-MCP for 24 h at 20°C and then transferred to air or continuous ethylene storage at 0°C to 1°C (n = 6).

Treatments are defined in “Materials and Methods.” lsd (P = 0.05) = 40.30.
