Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Khedbrahma, Sabarkantha (Gujarat) India, during rabi season of three consecutive years (2019–2020; 2020–2021 and 2021–2022) to study the effect of potash and sulphur application on yield and economics of onion. Potash was tested @ 40, 60 and 80 kg ha^-1 in combination with sulphur @ 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha^-1 and their combinations (12 treatment combinations) were laid out in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. In pooled analysis, integration of potash @ 60 kg and sulphur @ 20 kg ha^-1 with uniform application of nitrogen @ 100 kg and phosphorus @ 50 kg ha^-1 recorded maximum bulb yield (611.21 q ha^-1). Maximum gross return (₹ 916815 ha^-1), net return (₹ 777110 ha^-1) and B:C ratio (5.56) were recorded with potash @ 60 kg + sulphur @ 20 kg ha^-1 in onion.
