Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to diagnose and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract. The doctor uses a long, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope. The endoscope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect abnormalities.
Onions are transported in wide-meshed jute fabric or plastic bags, crates, boxes, cartons, baskets or fruit crates. Small-meshed bags are unsuitable for transport due to their low permeability to air.
To harvest onions: Wait for the tops of storage onions to fall over and turn brown before you pull them. Dig up the bulbs carefully with the tops attached. Then let them dry (cure) in a shed or greenhouse or warm area for 2 to 3 weeks until the tops are totally dried out and the skins are papery.f so, harvest the flower when most of the seeds are dry, then store in a cool, dry location for 2 or 3 weeks. You can store them for up to 1 to 2 years. Keep in mind that onions cross-pollinate readily, so the seeds will probably not be like to the parent plant unless the plants have been isolated.
