Effect of different integrated approaches of organic and inorganic fertilization on quality of onion (Allium cepa L.)

Abstract

The experiment was carried out to find out the effect of organic, inorganic sources of nutrients on growth of Garlic. The treatment combinations involving three levels of organic manure i.e. O1- FYM (farm yard [email protected]/ha, O2- [email protected]/ha, O3- Poultry [email protected]/ha, three levels of In-organic fertilizer i.e. I1- Control, I2- 100% RDF (NPK-150:80:60), I3- 50% RDF (NPK-75:40:30) and Bio-enhancers in three levels i.e. B1- Panchgavya (45 and 60 DAT), B2- Jivamrit-500 lit. /ha (with every irrigation), B3- Bijamrit- seed treatment + seedling treatment Practices were given in Agrifound Dark Red variety. neck thickness of bulb (cm), total soluble solids content in bulb (%), vitamin-C (Ascorbic acid), allyl-propyl disulphide (C6H12S2). were observed by the maximum at 1st year, 2nd year and Pooled were observed under the treatment I2 (100% RDF (NPK-150:80:60) at all the growth stages.
