Abstract:
The present investigation “effect of different bio-fertilizers and organic substances on economics of onion cultivation” was carried out at the Horticultural 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 maximum income (both gross and net) and b:c ratio was obtained with T₉: Vermicompost + Azospirillum + Azotobacter + PSB and the lowest income (both gross and net) was obtained with T_0: control. It is therefore concluded that application of full dose of biofertilizers (Azospirillum + Azotobacter + PSB) along with vermicompost were recommended for getting higher profit in onion cultivation.
