Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect 80% field capacity increased marketable yield by above 25.72%.
- Intervention effect 80% field capacity increased total bulb yield by above 33.84%.
- Intervention effect Traditional irrigation increased bulb nutrient contents and culls and storage losses.
- Intervention effect Raised beds increased bulb weight, yields, diameter, soluble solids and dry matter.
- Intervention effect Normal furrows increased culls yield and bulb nutrient contents.
- Intervention effect Raised beds gave the lowest physiological, decay and sprouting losses.
- Intervention effect Raised beds reduced culls yield by above 19.16%.
- Intervention effect Increasing density from 30 to 45 plants/m2 reduced bulb weight and diameter and storage losses.
- Intervention effect Density of 45 versus 30 plants/m2 raised marketable yield by 17.08%.
- Intervention effect Density of 45 versus 30 plants/m2 raised total yield by 22.26%.
- Intervention effect Density of 45 versus 30 plants/m2 raised soluble solids by 10.71%.
- Intervention effect Density of 45 versus 30 plants/m2 raised dry matter by 14.21%.
- Intervention effect Density of 60 plants/m2 gave 88.22% more culls than 30 plants/m2.
- Observation Irrigation, cultivation method and density interactions significantly affected yield and storability.
- Observation The combination of 80% field capacity, 45 plants/m2 and raised beds maximized yield and quality.
- Observation Traditional irrigation and normal cultivation gave the highest seasonal water applied and consumptive use.
- Observation The highest density gave the highest consumptive water use and use efficiency.
- Observation I2 irrigation, raised beds and 45 plants/m2 gave highest water productivity.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 80% field capacity irrigation, 45 plants/m2 and raised beds for onion productivity and water productivity.
