The experiment was laid out in randomized block design eighteen genotypes viz, Phule Samarth, Phule Suvarna, Baswant-780, Phule Safed, Bhima Raj, Bhima Super, Bhima Shubra, Bhima Shakti, Bhima Kiran, Bhima Shweta, Bhima Dark Red, Bhima Safed, Bhima Red, RO-1, RO-2, RO-59, RO-252 and N-2-4-1. The results of onion genotypes revealed significantly higher leaf length and chlorophyll content was exerted under Baswant-780 genotype. While, significantly higher neck thickness was obtained under Bhima Shweta genotype. Whereas, number of leaves plant-1 could not reach the level of significance due to different genotypes.
