105 MODEL PROJECT FOR ONION STORAGE STRUCTURE UP State produces 515% onion of the total production of the country. Out of the total onion production in the State, 1015% onion production is in Kharif season, 3040% production is in Late Kharif and 5060% production is in Rabi/Summer season. Generally onion produced in Kharif and Late Kharif season is not suitable for storage while onion produced in summer season can be stored upto 56 months and it can be brought in the market during rainy season i.e. from June to October. There are certain problems which arises during conventional storage of onion viz. loss in weight, sprouting and rotting of bulb. To overcome these losses onion must be stored in scientific manner and its prices. The onion storage as per this plan will minimize the storage losses and quality deterioration of the onion which will in turn help the farmers to fetch better prices for their produce. To encourage the farmers for setting up of scientific onion storage systems, To get benefit of the NHM scheme farmer should erect onion storage structure according to proposed plan only. The construction cost of the onion storage structure is assumed at Rs. 6000/ per MT for this scheme. As per the scheme, subsidy 50% of the construction cost maximum upto Rs.50000/ of 25 MT storage capacity. CONSTRUCTION OF ONION STORAGE STRUCTURE Modern onion storage structures have been so planned to aerate the onions from all sides. Following points to be followed during its construction. 1. It is necessary that lower base of onion storage structure should be raised from the ground level by 1.5' to 2.00' for that the foundation should be laid out according to soil type. Pillar height should be 1.5' to 2'. 2. Skeleton of structure should be rest on these pillars and it should be made up of iron angles/wooden material. Lower base can be made up of iron angles wooden battens. Its breadth should be a 5'. 3. Side wall should be made up to bamboo battens/iron angle with the support and help of iron angles. Its height should be 5'. Bamboo battens/iron angles should be so arranged that onions should not come out of it and also proper air circulation should be made which should be at 5' height. 4. Height of roof of onion storage structure should be 2' above onion stored. For roof iron/cement/manglore tiles should be used. Material of roof should be heat resistant. Also, according structural design roof should have sufficient slope. 5. To avoid droplets rain water and sunlight, sides of roof should be sufficiently projected outside and also same from direction of rain (southwest).

106 Do's and Don'ts able for onion storage structure 1. Site selected for onion storage structure should be well drained and should be easily accusable to good road. Ill drained and deep site should be avoided. 2. Onion storage structure should be naturally ventilated from lower and other sides. Circumstance for natural ventilation should be avoided or minimise. 3. There should not be tall civil work close to structure. Tall civil work should be 1.5 times height of onion storage structure away from onion storage structure. 4. The width of onion storage structure should be 610 cm. for natural air circulation. In high humid area width of storage structure should be less otherwise there should be provision of mechanism for air circulation. The width of onion storage structure should not be more. 5. The length of onion storage structure should be right angle to the direction of wind (East West). While constructing onion storage structure the length of structure should not be in the direction of wind. 6. Windward side of storage should have closing system during storm and heavy rain and opening facility when necessary. During storm and heavy rain windward side of storage should not be open. 7. The sides of the roof should be sufficiently forwarded to avoid rainwater and to resist heat. The sides should not be short. 8. There should be heat resistant material at the upper side of roof of onion storage structure. Do not use galvanised iron sheets for roof.
