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.
Onions are triggered to bulb by the length of daylight hours. A short day onion starts forming a bulb when the daylength reaches 10-12 hours. They are primarily grown in the winter and harvested in March, April and May. Mostly grown in the southern states. Day neutral or intermediate day onions are triggered with 12-14 hours of daylight.
