Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Microsprinkler fertigation treatments did not significantly influence onion crop growth in leaf production, plant height and diameter.
- Intervention effect Fertigation treatments gave higher marketable bulb yield of onion than soil application of fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Bulb yield through soil application of fertilizer increased when the irrigation was changed from surface irrigation to microsprinkler irrigation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend applying 100% of the recommended fertilizer dose through sprinkler fertigation with water soluble fertilizers to achieve maximum onion yield.
