- Observation Pelleted onion seeds were bold, smooth, round and uniform, aiding handling.
- Intervention effect Pelleted onion seed germination was on par with nonpelleted seed, 87% versus 89%.
- Intervention effect Pelleted onion seedling vigour index was 1117 versus 1169 for nonpelleted seed.
- Intervention effect Pelleted seed produced higher onion bulb yield than nonpelleted seed, 31.81 versus 27.85 tonnes/ha.
- Observation Pelleted onion seed retained viability and vigour for 3-4 months under ambient storage.
