Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, College of Horticulture, AAU, Anand during the three consecutive years 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 on onion cv. GAWO 3. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and ten treatments viz., T1: RDF 100:75:75 NPK kg ha-1 (control), T2: 100 % N from FYM, T3: 100 % N from Vermicompost, T4: 100 % N from Castor cake, T5: 75 % N from FYM + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1, T6: 75% N from VC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1, T7: 75% N from CC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1, T8: 50% N from FYM + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1, T9: 50% N from VC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1, T10: 50% N from CC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1. The observations were recorded on different growth and yield attributes. The treatment T6 (Soil application of 75% N from VC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1) recorded significantly, higher bulb weight (87.91g), bulb volume (90.75 cm3), bulb yield (467 q/ha) and “A” grade bulbs (325.64 q/ha) in pooled analysis. Whereas, plant height at 40 and 80 DAP as well as yield of “B and C” grade bulbs were found non-significant.

Conclusion

From the three years of field study, it can be concluded that application of 75% N from VC + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1 or 75 % N from FYM + NPK consortium 1 L ha-1recorded maximum bulb weight, bulb volume and bulb yield as well as “A” grade bulb in onion cv. GAWO 3.
