Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Direct seeding gave higher growth, bulb yield and quality than transplanting.
- Intervention effect K2SO4 gave the best growth, bulb production and quality relative to chloride combinations.
- Association Growth and yield potential declined with increasing fertilizer chloride.
- Association Chloride was less harmful to seed-grown than transplanted onion.
- Intervention effect Direct sowing with pure K2SO4 gave the highest dry bulb yield.
- Intervention effect Direct sowing with 75% K2SO4 and 25% KCl gave the highest dry bulb yield.
- Intervention effect The no-decline result for 25% KCl did not apply to transplanted onions.
