Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect More irrigation and nitrogen significantly enhanced leaf water status, chlorophyl content and nitrate reductase activity.
- Intervention effect More irrigation and nitrogen significantly enhanced bulb yield.
- Observation Highest onion yield occurred at 1.2 ETc and 100% nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Water and nitrogen stress increased proline accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation.
- Intervention effect Water and nitrogen stress reduced onion yield.
- Observation Water use efficiency peaked under 0.9 ETc with higher nitrogen.
- Observation Nitrogen use efficiency was highest under high irrigation and moderate nitrogen.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 0.9 ETc irrigation with adequate nitrogen under water limits.
