Abstract: Onion is an important commercial vegetable crop across the world, demands good storage due to its seasonality. However huge post harvest loss of onion was noticed during storage in the form of sprouting, rotting and physiological loss in weight resulting in least quantum of marketable bulbs. To overcome this bottleneck a field study was carried out at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot to evaluate the influence of pre harvest application of salicylic acid, azoxystrobin and cycocel on storage behavior of onion cv. Arka Kalyan. The experiment was laid on Randomized Complete Block Design, with 12 treatments and 3 replication. The chemicals i.e., salicylic acid, azoxystrobin and cycocel were applied in the field and their effect on various physicochemical parameters were studied at monthly interval during prolonged storage of 4 months. The combined application of chemicals resulted in least per cent rotting, black mould incidence and improved quantum of marketable bulb and total phenols.
