Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect 150 kg per hectare of nitrogen increased marketable bulb yield by 26% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect 150 kg per hectare of nitrogen increased total bulb yield by 26% relative to the control.
- Observation Dz-sht-68 had the highest marketable bulb yield.
- Observation The local landrace had the lowest marketable bulb yield.
- Observation The local landrace had the highest bulb weight loss.
- Intervention effect 150 kg per hectare nitrogen increased bulb rotting by up to 79% over control.
- Observation Shallot shelf life was short.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that 100 kg per hectare nitrogen was optimal for bulb production without harming quality.
