- Intervention effect Pendimethalin with hand weeding significantly reduced weed populations.
- Intervention effect Oxyfluorfen with hand weeding significantly reduced weed populations.
- Observation Five weed taxa were identified as major weeds in the onion field.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin plus hand weeding yielded 39.3 t/ha onion bulbs in the first year.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin plus hand weeding gave pooled bulb yield of 38.0 t/ha and was at par with oxyfluorfen plus hand weeding and weed free treatment.
- Intervention effect Onion bulb yield increased as fertilizer rose from 75% to 125% of RDF.
- Intervention effect At 125% RDF bulb yield exceeded F2 by 10.52%.
- Intervention effect At 125% RDF bulb yield exceeded F1 by 19.43%.
- Intervention effect Bulb weight loss, black mould and sprouting were generally unaffected by weed management and fertilizer levels.
- Intervention effect One weed management treatment produced significantly higher bulb weight loss.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin, hand weeding and 100% RDF gave 39.86 t/ha bulb yield.
- Observation The combined treatment yielded a net return of 2,69,422/ha.
- Observation The combined treatment had a benefit cost ratio of 7.85.
- Observation The combined treatment saved 25% fertilizer.
