“…The result is in line with the research finding of [27] conducted at Gode who reported as increasing the rate of N supply from 0 kg ha -1 to 100 kg ha -1 significantly increased plant height by about 8%. This result is consistent also with the findings of [34,35] who reported that as the N rates increased so did plant height of onion. Disregarding the effect of N rates, significantly longest onion plants were obtained from intra-row spacing of 15 cm and comparatively shortest plants were observed at intra-row spacing of 7.5 cm which was statistically at par with 10 cm intra-row spacing (Table 2).…”

Abstract:The productivity of onion crop is low due to poor agronomic and management practices in Gode district. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Gode Polytechnic College demonstration farm in 2013 under irrigation to assess the effect of N fertilizer rates and intra-row spacing on growth parameters of onion (Allium cepa L.). The treatments were consisting of six rates of N fertilizer (0, 46, 69, 92, 115, 138 kg ha -1 ) and four levels of intra-row spacing (7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 cm) and the experiment was designed in RCBD with three replications. Results of the analysis revealed that the interaction effects of N rates and intra-row spacing showed highly significant (P<0.01) effect on leaf number. Plant maturity was delayed at higher N rates and wider intra-row spacings and vice-versa. The longest plant height was obtained from 15 cm intra-row spacing and 138 kg N ha -1 where as the shortest was recorded from 7.5 cm intra-row spacing without N fertilizer application. Longest leaf length was obtained from plants spaced at 15 cm fertilized with 138 kg N ha -1 . However, the shortest was recorded for plants grown in 7.5 cm intra-row spacings without N fertilizer. The overall result analysis showed thatgood growth performance of onion was obtained from 15 cm intra-row spacing combined with 138 kg N ha -1 fertilizer applications.

“…Nasreen et al, (2007) also reported that the addition of nitrogen and sulphur fertilizers exerted significant influence on the number of leaves/plant, plant height, diameter of bulb, single bulb weight and yield of onion. The results were also supported by Mozumber et al (2007) .The maximum bulb dry matter (9.23%) content and bulb yield (9.33 t ha -1 ) were produced from the application of sulphur @ 30 kg/ha was recorded by Rashid (2010). Effect on quality characters: Quality characters viz.…”

A field experiment was carried out to examine the effect of potash and sulphur on yield and quality parameters under different planting methods in onion (Allium cepa L.) during Rabi 2014 and 2015. The experiment consists of 8 treatment combinations viz. 2 planting methods (bed and flat), 4 treatments of fertilizer viz. S 1 -N 100 P 50 K 0 S 0 (control), S 2 -N 100 P 50 K 50 S 0 , S 3 -N 100 P 50 K 0 S 40 , S 4 -N 100 P 50 K 50 S 40 . The experiment was laid in factorial randomized block design and replicated thrice. Uniform dose of farm Yard manure (50 t ha ) was applied to all the treatments. Data on plant height (cm), leaves /plant (No.), neck thickness (mm), fresh bulb weight (g), fresh bulb yield (q ha -1 ), total soluble solids (T.S.S), sprouting (%),rotting (%) and physiological weight loss (%) at 30 and 90 days after of harvest were recorded . It has been observed that planting methods and fertilizer treatments showed significant difference at 5% level of significance for plant height (cm), neck thickness (mm), fresh bulb weight (g), fresh bulb yield (q ha -1 ),total soluble solids (T.S.S), sprouting(%), rotting(%) and physiological weight loss (%) at 30 days after harvest. However their interaction was significant for Neck thickness (mm), fresh bulb yield (q ha -1 ) and rotting (%).It was found that application of potash and sulphur with recommended dose of Nitrogen and phosphorus gave better results in relation to yield as well as quality characters. The results revealed that application of potash and sulphur with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus (S 4 -N 100 P 50 K 50 S 40 ) gave better results in relation to yield (339.6 q ha-1 ) as well as quality characters like sprouting (2.38 %) and rooting (12.18 %) and physiological weight loss at 30 and 90 days of harvest(10.22 and 20.50 % respectively).

“…This study seems to indicate that N fertilization contributed towards the mean bulb weight increment probably due to effect of N on increase of leaf size and assimilate production and partition to the bulbs, thereby increased weight of bulbs [26]. This result is in line with the findings of Vochhani, et al [27], Singh, [28], Mozumder, et al [29] who reported that mean bulb weights of onion significantly increased with increase in N fertilizer upto 150 kg N ha -1 . The results are also comparable with the finding of several researchers including Islam, et al [30], Nasreen, et al [31] who mentioned that application of 120 kg N ha -1 produced the highest mean bulb weight of onion.…”

Shebelle river basin along the Gode district is one of the most suitable areas for the production of dry bulb onion, which is an important cash crop for farmers in the study area. However, the productivity of the crop is low due to poor agronomic practices and managements. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Gode Polytechnic College demonstration farm in 2013 under irrigation to assess the effect of N fertilizer rates and intra-row spacing on bulb triats of onion (Allium cepa L.). The treatments were consisting six rates of N fertilizer (0, 46, 69, 92, 115, 138 kg ha-1) and four levels of intra-row spacing (7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 cm). The experiment was designed in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results of the analysis revealed that the interaction effects of N rates and intra-row spacing showed highly significant (P<0.01) effect on bulb diameter and mean bulb weight parameters whereas the two factor show again a significant (p<0.01) independent effect on bulb length and bubl dry weight. The correlation analysis revealed that bulb length (cm) has a significant (p<0.05) positive correlation with bulb diameter parameter (r=0.24*), bulb weight (r=0.77**) and bulb dry weight (r=0.73**) and inversely correlated with that of nek thickness (r=-0.28*). Thus, It can be concluded that almost all bulb traits of onion can respond well at higher N rate (138kg N ha-1) combined with 15cm inra-row spacing under Gode condition.
