This study was conducted to determine the impact of elevated temperature based on climate change scenario on growth and bulb quality of extremely early-maturing onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Singsingball) in the temperature gradient tunnels. There were treated with 3 groups, one is a control group (ambient temperature, mean temperature at 9.8℃), another ambient temperature +2℃ (mean temperature at 12.0℃), and the other ambient temperature +5℃ (mean temperature at 14.3℃). Compared with the control, plant height, neck diameter, leaf area, top fresh weight and dry weight were significantly increased at ambient +2℃ temperature. Bulb diameter and bulb weight was highest at ambient +2℃ temperature (mean temperature at 12.0℃) during the growth period. Bulb/neck diameter ratio, over 2.0 a good indicator of development of bulb, increased rapidly at ambient +2℃ temperature. This result suggests that extremely early-maturing onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Singsingball) could maintain the higher productivity and bulb quality at ambient +2℃ temperature. On the contrary, 5℃ higher than atmospheric temperature shows negative effects on yields under a future climate change scenario.
