Abstract

The present study was conducted at the Department of Vegetable Sciences, K.R.C. College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, during rabi 2024-25 to evaluate fifty-four onion (Allium cepa L.) genotypes for growth, yield and quality traits in a randomized block design with two replications. Significant genetic variability was observed for all traits. NHRDF Red-4 recorded the tallest plants, Bhima Red had the highest number of leaves and Bhima Shakti showed the greatest plant weight and yield (26.64 t/ha). Balichakra Local exhibited maximum dry matter (16.53%), Bailhongal Local had the highest TSS (16.01 °Brix) and DOGR-1772 showed maximum pyruvic acid (5.90 µmoles/g). Overall, Bhima Shakti, NHRDF Red-4, Bailhongal Local, DOGR-1772 and Balichakra Local were identified as superior genotypes for use in future breeding programs.
