Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Sulfur sources generally did not significantly differ, except bulb weight.
- Intervention effect Gypsum raised height, neck thickness, bulb weight, diameter, yield and TSS relative to elemental sulfur.
- Intervention effect Gypsum reduced doubles and bolters.
- Intervention effect Gypsum improved shelf life through lower weight loss, rotting and sprouting.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced plant height of 59.89 cm.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced 15.66 leaves per plant.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced polar diameter of 5.41 cm.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced equatorial diameter of 5.21 cm.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced bulb weight of 66.00 g.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced bulb yield of 241.33 q ha -1.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 30 kg ha -1 produced TSS of 12.54%.
- Intervention effect Sulfur at 15 and 30 kg ha -1 gave statistically comparable listed traits.
- Recommendation Authors recommend 30 kg ha -1 sulfur as gypsum for onion yield and keeping quality.
