“…Nitrogen application at 150 kg N ha -1 resulted in higher yield than other levels tested. Similar results have been reported by Diaz-Perez et al (2003); Singh et al (2004); Zaman et al (2011); Alassaf (2013). Influence of plant spacing with respect to average weight of bulb was AWB: Average weight of bulb (g); DB: Diameter of bulb (cm); YBP: Yield of bulb plot -1 (kg); YBH: Yield of bulb ha -1 (q); TSS: Total soluble solid found significant variation.…”

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2014−15 in order to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and plant spacing on growth, yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Agrifound Light Red. The two factor experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The results demonstrated that plant spacing had significant effects on growth, yield components and yield of onion. Different fertilizers combination exhibited significant variation in respect of individual bulb weight, bulb diameter and yield. The results revealed that the maximum plant height, maximum number of leaves and maximum girth thickness at 45 and 90 days after transplanting (DAT) as well as quality traits like bolting percentage, maximum bulb diameter, minimum days taken for maturity, maximum average weight of bulb and maximum total soluble solids was recorded with treatment 150 kg N ha-1. Onion cultivar Agrifound Light Red spaced at treatment (15×10 cm 2) recorded the maximum plant height, number of leaves, girth thickness, bolting percentage and maximum yield per plot as well as per hactare at 45, 90 days after transplanting. While at the same treatment onion cultivar Agrifound Light Red recorded minimum days for maturity (120.56) with treatment 15×10 cm 2. The results indicated that, among the sixteen treatment combinations n 3 m 2 s 2 recorded maximum gross Cost : Benefit Ratio (1 : 5.67).Thus, from the present investigation it can be concluded that for optimum growth, higher yield and better quality of onion, the application of 150 kg N ha-1 and 15×10 cm 2 plant spacing is very useful.

“…plant height both at 60 and 90 DAS (31.88 and 49.05 cm), number of leaves per plant both at 60 and 90 DAS (5.22 and 6.60), and chlorophyll content at 60 DAS (31.88 mg/g in leaves) were recorded under control, respectively which were at par with S 2 (Sulphur @ 40 kg/ha). Similar results were recorded by Chattoo et al (2018) [14] , Choudhary et al (2018) [15] in garlic, Hariyappa (2003) [18] , Jaggi (2005) [19] , Singh et al (2019) [25] and Raghavendra et al (2020) [22] in onion, respectively.…”

The field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during Rabi seasons 2019-20 and 2020-21. The result showed that soil application of sulphur 60 kg/ha and foliar application Zinc sulphate @ 0.6% was recorded maximum plant height, number of leaves and chlorophyll content of leaves in both the years as well as in pooled analysis. Although, sulphur application at 40 kg/ha along with foliar application of zinc sulphate at 0.6 % was found at par to it.

“…Results are in agreement with Balemi, 2005 who found an increase in TSS% in onion tissues when used 75% from recommended nitrogen per hectare with using Azotobacter bacteria as biofertilizer. Also, Singh et al, 2017 found that the treatment (50%N + 75%P + K + 50% Azotobacter + 25% PSB) enhanced the TSS% in onion tissues to 12.28%. Same findings also reported by Yaso et al, 2007;Abo-Sedera et al, 2012;Fawzy et al, 2012 andGhodia, 2012.…”

A FIELD experiment was carried out on the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt during the winter season of 2016 to study the effect of bio-fertilization under different level of nitrogen and potassium (75% and 50% from the full dose) on the growth and yield of Onion plants. The obtained results showed that the microbial inoculation leads to a significant increase in growth parameters (foliage heights, number of leaves and dry weights). As well as NPK-contents as responded to all treatments under investigation in all stages of plant growth. The same trend was observed in yield parameters (bulb weights, total bulbs yield, Total soluble solids%, Dry matter% and NPK contents in bulb tissues). The treatment T4 (A. chroococcum + 75 % dose of NK) gave the highest total yield with an increase by 6.19% over the control. Also, the bio-fertilization has a pronounced increase in microbial count in comparison with the mineral fertilization. The obtained results of PGPR effects on growth parameters and yield of onion recommend their use as an alternative tool to reduce chemical fertilizers.
