As the growing season progresses and after the onions are nearing maturity, we would mow off the tops of onions. This would allow the onion to stop sending nutrients into the tops and concentrate on growing the bulb to proper size to harvest. Other people prefer to leave the tops on even during storage to prevent moulds etc entering the onion.
