Abstract

The present investigation was carried out in Kinnow orchard during the year 2019-20 at the Main Experiment Station, Department of Fruit Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj, Ayodhya, in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments, comprised of onion varieties Pusa Madhavi, Puna Fursungi, N-53 and Agrifound Light Red with four replications of each treatment. Observations were recorded on Plant height, leaf length, leaves per plant, neck length, neck diameter, bulb height, bulb diameter, days of maturity, moisture content in bulb, total soluble solids of bulb and yield. From the findings of present investigation, it can be inferred that the highest plant height, leaf length, neck length, neck diameter, bulb height, bulb diameter, days of maturity and dry matter content were found in Agrifound Light Red and maximum leaves per plant, neck diameter, moisture content, bulb weight and yield were found in N-53. The highest total soluble solids was found in Poona Fursungi.It can be concluded that N-53 variety of onion can be cultivated in pre-bearing Kinnow orchard as intercropping for maximum return.

Conclusion

It can be concluded that N-53 variety of onion performed better among all four verities which were intercropped in pre bearing Kinnow orchard during the study and it can be recommend to the farmers to intercrop such vegetable crops being short duration, shallow-rooted will not only help the farmers to utilize the vacant space efficiently but also enable them to earn additional income from the same piece of land.
