Abstract
Today, the use of herbs instead of chemicals in terms of health and environmental protection increase. In discussing the use of essential oils and herbs instead of the application of modern agricultural chemicals gamma radiation onion in storage is considered. To investigate the effect of thermal treatment and storage life of onion weight loss factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. Factors include temperature: (4oC, 25oC, 30oC) on different dates (30 and 90 days after harvest) and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oils were studied during storage. results of data analysis showed that the thermal treatments were: Germination bulbs, corm growth rate, weight loss, percentage of bulb rot in storage, no significant differences in There is a probability level and the temperature increased to 30oC bulb germination increased and then decreased o a minimum 4oC and Rosemary essential oils to 25oC and 30oC . The difference between the numbers of evaluated traits was significant. High temperatures inhibit germination and growth corm was significantly different.
