Summary

The Sudanese local onion cultivar Wad Ramli has a markedly long rest period (60 days) and a long dormant period of up to six months. It has high dry matter (16 per cent), high soluble solids (15 per cent) and strong pungency, factors which contribute to its good storability under conditions that are usually adverse for good storage.
