Abstract:
The field experiment entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management (FYM+VC+NPK) on growth and yield of onion cultivar Nasik Red was planned and conducted during Rabi season 2014-2015 at vegetable research field Department of Horticulture SHUATS, Allahabad India, with combination of different source of integrated nutrient management (FYM+VC+NPK) on growth and yield of onion. Experiment consisted of 7 treatments with 3 replications laid in RBD. The result obtained from the experiment showed that different treatment combination of integrated nutrient management significantly affected the growth and yield parameters of onion such as plant height (57.33cm), length of leaves sheath (35.23cm), number of leaves sheath / per plant (10.00), stem girth of plant (2.31cm), fresh weight of plant (137.37gm), dry weight of plant (14.37gm), fresh weight of bulb (120.39gm), dry weight of bulb (14.82gm), diameter of bulb (6.95cm), bulb yield / plot (3.10kg), and bulb yield t/ha (29.6), significantly by combination of different integrated nutrients management (FYM+VC+NPK). The maximum value of bulb yield / ha were under the treatment T₅ (10t ha^-1 Vermicompost + 75% RDF).
