A review on integrated nutrient management in bulbous vegetable crops

Abstract

Onion and garlic are two important bulbous vegetable crops cultivated in India. Both these crops have high domestic demand, medicinal value and good export potential and it could help earn handsome foreign exchange. The production of these bulbous crops is not sufficient enough to meet the demands for both domestic requirements and export. Among the various factors affecting yield of crops, nutrient management plays a major role in augmenting the yield. Integrated nutrient management can be considered as a viable option to enhance the production of these bulbous crops. The present review throws light on the results of few trials conducted to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management in bulbous vegetable crops viz. onion and garlic.
