Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Irrigation method treatments differed significantly in onion plant height, bulb weight and bulb diameter.
- Intervention effect Irrigation method treatments differed significantly in onion crop water use efficiency, marketable yield and unmarketable yield.
- Intervention effect Irrigation method treatments differed significantly in onion total yield.
- Intervention effect Conventional furrow irrigation recorded the highest onion plant height (75 cm).
- Intervention effect Conventional furrow irrigation recorded the highest onion bulb weight (6.7 g).
- Intervention effect Alternate furrow irrigation produced higher onion crop water use efficiency (CWUI, 19310 kg/m³).
- Intervention effect Under the farmer’s practice onion plant height was reduced (57 cm), the lowest performance.
- Intervention effect Under the farmer’s practice onion bulb weight was lowest (4.7 g).
- Intervention effect Under the farmer’s practice onion crop water use efficiency (CWUI) was lowest (15076 kg/m³).
- Intervention effect Onion total yield was highest under alternate furrow irrigation (19,361 kg/ha).
- Intervention effect Onion total yield under conventional furrow irrigation was 19,937 kg/ha, following alternate furrow irrigation.
- Intervention effect Onion total yield was lowest under the farmer’s practice (15,515 kg/ha).
- Intervention effect Improved irrigation practices have the potential to enhance onion productivity and water use efficiency compared to traditional methods.
- Recommendation Alternate furrow irrigation is recommended as a sustainable irrigation practice for onion production in semi-arid areas.
