Abstract:
The present investigation “effect of different bio-fertilizers and organic substances on quality parameters of rabi onion (Allium cepa L.)” was carried out at the Horticulture Instructional cum Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during Rabi season of year 2020-21 and 2021-22 with onion cultivar N-53. The experiment was laid down in randomize block design with three replications. The experiment was comprised of nine treatment organic manures and biofertilizers sole and different combination with one control (without organic manures and biofertilizers inoculation). Result revealed that the quality parameters viz., total soluble solids, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, total sugar, ascorbic acid content was measured highest in treatment T₉ (Vermicompost + Azospirillum + Azotobacter + PSB) during both the year and pooled mean. It is therefore concluded that application of full dose of biofertilizers (Azospirillum + Azotobacter + PSB) along with Vermicompost were recommended to obtain the better quality of onion bulbs.
