Summary

Under the arid tropical conditions of the Sudan, where seasonal variations in photoperiod are small but where temperatures are high, there is evidence from the performance of both local and introduced onion varieties that temperature has considerable influence on bulbing. The onset of bulbing does not prohibit the emergence of bladed leaves under such high temperature conditions. The size of the onion plant may be an important factor in the bulbing response under conditions of high temperature and small variations in photoperiod.
