“…This is due to proper spacing ensures optimum growth and diameter of bulb through adequate utilization of moisture, light, spacing and nutrients. This result is in conformity with Saurabh, et al [27] who found the biggest bulb diameter (7.06 cm) with 15 cm x 10 cm and the lowest value (5.01 cm) with 7.5 cm x10 cm. Ngullie and Biswas [26] who found the highest bulb diameter from wider intra-row spacing.…”

“…The highest fresh shoot weight per plant (43.40 g) was obtained when Dz-sht-157-1B grown at 20 cm intra-row spacing. This variety produced 13.77 g more shoot fresh weight when it was grown at wider intra-row spacing (20 cm) than at narrow intra-row spacing (5 cm) Table [26] and Saurabh, et al [27] who reported that wider plant spacing gave higher shoot weight per plant.…”

Shallot is an important crop as a condiment as well as a source of income for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. However, the yield of the crop is constrained by a number of factors among which inappropriate plant spacing and lack of improved varieties are the bottlenecks of its productivity in the study area. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Densa, Eastern Amhara, and Ethiopia to evaluate the growth and yield response of shallot varieties to intra-row spacing. The treatments consisted of four intra-row spacings (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm) and three shallot varieties (Dz-sht-157-1B, Dz-sht-91-2B, and Yheras). These were laid out in randomized complete block design replicated three times. Data on growth and yield parameters were recorded and subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results indicated that varying intra-row spacings from 5 to 20 cm increased significantly (P <0.01) all yield characters assessed in all the traits except cured bulb yield (t ha-1) which decreased as a result of increasing intra-row spacing from 5 to 20 cm. Highest total bulb yield (26.20 t ha-1) and marketable bulb yields (25.24 t ha-1) were recorded at the closest intra-row spacing (5 cm). Dz-sht-157-1B variety was superior in terms of leaf number per plant (35.82), average bulb weight (69.08 g), marketable yield (24.46 t ha-1) and total bulb yield (25.17 t ha-1). Hence, based on the result, Dz-sht-91-2B grown at 10 cm intra-row spacing should be adopted by farmers in study area. However, further investigations on multiplications and over years should be made to come up with complete recommendations. Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by conducting a field experiment at Densa, Eastern Amhara, and Ethiopia to evaluate the growth and yield response of shallot varieties to intra-row spacing. 1. INTRODUCTION Shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum), belongs to the family Alliaceae, is an onion like plant that is originated from Western Asia [1]. The crop is grown in more than 170 countries in the world that China and India are the world's largest producers [2]. It is one of the most widely cultivated bulb crops with wide range of climatic and soil adaptation in Ethiopia [3]. The crop is produced traditionally by small farmers in Hararge, Shoa, Arsi, Gojjam, etc. as cash crops and income generating spices for flavoring local dishes. Shallot is also preferred for its shorter growth cycle, better tolerance to disease and drought stresses and longer storage life than the common onion and for its distinct flavor that persists after cooking [4].

“…The crop is grown for consumption both in the green states as well as in mature bulbs. It is valued for its bulbs having characteristics odour, fl avor, and pungency, which is due to the presence of a volatile oil-allyl-propyl-disulphide, (Kantona et al, 2003and Habtamu et al, 2016and Kishor et al, 2017.…”

“…Some investigators confirmed the differences between onion cultivars on their dry weight (Kandil et al, 2013;Abo El-Hamd et al, 2016;Kishor et al, 2017). In this connection, Kandil et al (2010) showed that Giza Red and Giza 20 cultivars significantly increased the dry weight of onion as compared with Beheri.…”

One field experiment was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 at a Private Farm in El-Sowa Village, Abo Hammad District, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of cultivars, mineral phosphorus, and mycorrhizae fungi inoculation on plant dry weight and chemical composition of onion plants under clay soil conditions and flood irrigation system. The experiment included 18 treatments which were the combinations among two onion cultivars (Giza 20 and Beheri improved), three levels of mineral phospours fertilizer (0, 30 and 45 kg P 2 O 5 /fad.) and three levels of mycorrhizae (0, 2 and 4 kg/fad.). These treatments were arranged in a split split plot design system with three replicates. Cultivars were randomly arranged in the main plots, levels of P 2 O 5 were randomly distributed in the sub plots, while mycorrhizae levels were randomly arranged in the sub sub plots. The triple interaction treatments among onion Giza 20 cultivar, P 2 O 5 at 45 kg/fad., and inoculation with mycorrhizae at 4 kg/fad., significantly increased dry weight of roots, bulbs, leaves and total dry weight/plant at 75 days after transplanting, as well as, N, P and K uptake by roots, bulb and leaves at 105 days after transplanting.
