Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Soil application of molasses outperformed foliar application and control in seed setting, 1000-seed weight and seed yield of onion.
- Intervention effect Soil application of molasses outperformed foliar application and control in umbel scapes and umbel diameter of onion.
- Intervention effect Soil application of molasses outperformed foliar application and control in earlier flowering and extended bolting period of onion.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of molasses was significantly better than control in the earlier onion seed production traits.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil application of molasses markedly increased onion seed germination compared with control, in favour of foliar application.
- Intervention effect Lithovit at 0.5 g/l improved earlier umbel emergence and extended bolting of onion compared with control.
- Intervention effect Lithovit at 0.5 g/l improved umbel scapes, seed set and 1000-seed weight of onion compared with control.
- Intervention effect Lithovit at 0.5 g/l improved onion seed yield compared with control.
- Intervention effect Lithovit at 0.5 g/l improved onion germination compared with control.
- Intervention effect Lithovit at 0.75 g/l gave effects intermediate between control and 0.5 g/l for the onion parameters.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators GA3 and GA3+CK accelerated umbel emergence of onion compared with control.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators GA3 and GA3+CK enhanced umbel characteristics of onion compared with control.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators GA3 and GA3+CK improved onion germination compared with control.
- Intervention effect GA3+CK had superior effects on onion seed production compared with GA3.
- Observation Treatment interactions were significant for several onion seed production parameters.
- Intervention effect The combination of soil molasses, 0.5 g/l Lithovit and GA3+CK gave the best results for most onion seed traits.
