Effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on growth yield and yield attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) under Dhampur (Bijnor) condition

Abstract

The present investigation on “effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on growth yield, and yield attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) cv Agrifound Light Red”, was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Dhampur (Bijnor) during winter season 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in RBD with 8 treatments of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer viz. Control (T1), 100% N.P.K (T2), 100% F.Y.M (T3), 100% Neem Cake (T4), 50% N.P.K + Neem Cake (T5), 50% F.Y.M. + Neem Cake (T6), 33% N.P.K.+ F.Y.M. + Neem Cake(T7) and 50% N.P.K + F.Y.M (T8). The results showed that the growth attributes were very much fluctuated in different treatments. As far as yield characters are concerned, it was found that the treatment 50% N.P.K + F.Y.M (T8) was found superior over all other treatments studied.
