Use of a Durometer to Assess Onion Bulb Hardness
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
The use of a durometer to assess hardness of onion bulbs is described, and compared with the use of a tensile testing machine. Results from the two tests were closely correlated, and significant varietal differences were detected in bulb hardness by both machines. The durometer is of particular value because of the simplicity and non-destructive nature of the test procedure.
