“…While maximum non reducing (9.70%) and total sugars (17.70%) were recorded from variety Agrifound Light Red with spacing 15  10 cm followed by spacing 7.5  10 cm and 15  10 cm with variety Saurabh . This result is in agreement with the fi ndings of (Gupta and Gaffer 1980), (Khan et al, 2003) in onion and (Kumar et al, 1998) obtained the better quality with spacing of 15x10 cm in onion.…”

“…This is due to proper spacing ensures optimum growth and weight of bulb through adequate utilization of moisture, light, spacing and nutrients (Zubeldia andGases, 1977 Habtamu et al, 2016 ). These results are conformity with (Kumar et al, 1998), the highest yield with a spacing of 15  10 cm, (Kantona et al, 2003) and (Khan et al, 2003) total bulb yield can be increased as population density increase and (Gupta and Gaffer, 1980) bulb size and bulb weight decreased with the decrease in spacing (Kishor et al, 2017). Table 1 indicated that interaction of spacing and different cultivars had infl uenced signifi cantly on total soluble solids and ascorbic acid of onion bulb.…”

“…Several researchers in many countries have shown that varieties and plant spacing had profound effects on the growth and yield of onion (Pandey et al, 1991;Bhonden et al, 1995and Kumar et al, 1998, Kishor et al, 2017. Considering the above stated situations, the present study was undertaken to determine the effect of spacing on growth and yield of different cultivars of onion under Lucknow conditions (Allium cepa l.).…”

“…The high values of bulb weight under low density were probably due to less interplant competition for water, nutrients and light. These results are in agreement with the results of Rashid and Rashid (1976), Kumar et al (1998), Khushk et al (1990); Rizk et al (1991), Sikder et al (2010) and Geries, L. S. M. and Azza E.

Two field experiments were conducted during 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons at Shandaweel Agriculture Research Station, Sohag Governorate, to study the effect of onion density and weed control treatments on vegetative growth, yield and quality of onion. Split plot design with three replicates was used. Onion plant density (240 000, 300 000, and 400 000 plant/ fed.) occupied the main plots, whereas weed control treatments (hand hoeing (twice), Goal + Select (once), Goal + Select (twice), Ecopart + Select (once), Ecopart + Select (twice) and control) occupied the sub plots. Onion plants grown under the highest density (400 000 plants/fed.) attained the highest values of plant height and number of leaves/plant, while the lowest density (240 000 plants/fed.) attained the lowest values, in both seasons. Total yield/fed. for onion grown under high density were higher than those under other densities. Planting onion at low density recorded the highest values of single bulbs%, and double bulbs%, while planting at high density recorded the lowest values, in both seasons. The highest values of number of leaves/plant and bulb weight were obtained by application of Goal + Select (twice), in both seasons. Average bulb weight, marketable yield/fed., culls yield/fed. and total yield/fed. were significantly decreased under weed control treatment, in both seasons. From this investigation, it could be concluded that using of the highest plant density (400 000 plant/fed.) and application of Goal + Select (twice) could be recommended for the highest values of gross income, net benefit and the percentage of benefit/cost ratio.
