Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Bulb diameter, scale leaves per bulb and fresh bulb weight of onion increased significantly with 150% RD of NPK over control.
- Intervention effect All the measured parameters increased further when 10 tonnes FYM per ha was added along with 100% NPK.
- Intervention effect An additional bulb yield of 2.2 tonnes/ha was obtained with 100% NPK + 10 tonnes/ha FYM over 100% NPK alone.
- Intervention effect 100% NPK + 10 tonnes FYM + 6 kg Zn + 20 kg S/ha gave a bulb yield of 36.95 tonnes/ha, superior to 150% NPK alone (34.08 tonnes/ha).
- Intervention effect 100% NPK + 10 tonnes FYM + 6 kg Zn + 20 kg S/ha gave a dry matter yield of 5.66 tonnes/ha, superior to 150% NPK alone (5.22 tonnes/ha).
- Intervention effect The maximum gross return (Rupees 234 902.5 tonnes/ha) was obtained with combined use of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S.
- Intervention effect The maximum net returns (Rupees 171 085.1/ha) were obtained with combined use of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S.
- Intervention effect The maximum B:C ratio (2.67) was obtained with combined use of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S.
- Intervention effect The maximum protein yield (368 kg/ha) was obtained with combined use of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S.
- Intervention effect The maximum protein content (6.6%) of onion was recorded with 150% NPK application.
- Association Uptake of N, P, K, S and Zn by onion bulbs was associated with dry matter production resulting from addition of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combined use of 100% NPK and FYM enriched with Zn and S is the most appropriate nutrient management for higher productivity and profitability of onion.
