Abstract

A field experiment, entitled “Studies on effect of varieties, transplant ages and transplant densities on quality parameter of rabi onion (Allium cepa L.) under agroclimatic conditions of Chhattisgarh plains” was conducted at Horticulture Research cum Instructional Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) during Rabi 2015-16 and 2016-17. Result revealed that the two years mean indicated that V2- Agrifound light red X A1-35 days old seedling X D2-15 x 10 cm recorded significantly, higher qualitative characters like sulphur content in bulb, ascorbic acid content in bulb, neck- Diameter in bulb, days to crop maturity and chlorophyll content (a & b), during both the years (2015-16 and 2016-17) and on the basis of mean data.
