Yield of different onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties. Relative humidity showed strong seasonal variation, starting at low and unstable levels from January to April (minimum 10 to 40%, maximum 40 to 80%), rising steadily from May to nearly 100%, and later declining from November to December (20 to 80%). Significant genetic variation (p < 0.001)(...)
