Abstract:
According to the high cost of applied micronutrients and growth regulators, in-depth research is required to increase their effectiveness. However, selecting the correct of micronutrients and growth regulators is crucial to ensuring higher economic productivity. The present study was conducted regarding the significance of micronutrients and growth regulators for evaluating onion production quality. The study described in a randomized block design (RBD) involved twelve different treatments, each replicated three times. The experimental results revealed that foliar application of micronutrients and plant growth regulator increased A grade bulb, B grade bulb, TSS, total soluble sugars, ascorbic acid, total phenols and total flavonoids and increase was more in treatment Zn (1 g/l) + GA₃ (100 mg/l). Also, application of micronutrients and plant growth regulator increased mineral components of bulb like P, S, Mg, Mn and Cu in treatment Zn (1 g/l) + GA₃ (100 mg/l).
