Abstract

Onion is a dominating vegetable in terms of overall production and exports among the vegetables, India has one of the lowest productivity rates when compared to the rest of the globe. To overcome this issue, extensive research is required to fill this gap. A field experiment was carried out at C' block farm Kalyani, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal, to evaluate the performance of different onion genotypes under short day conditions during Rabi, 2020-21, in order to identify the best genotype (s) of onion for Rabi season in terms of growth and yield. The comprised of twenty seven genotypes replicated thrice in complete randomized block design with 2m × 2m plot size. Respective genotypes shown significantly better vegetative growth parameters viz plant height RVC20-22 (78.30cm), number of leaves plant-1 RVC20-22 (9.60) and neck thickness RVB20-10 (7.97mm) observed in among all the genotypes. Significant variation find for most of the bulb yield attribut
