Abstract:
An investigation was conducted at the Horticultural Research centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2019-2020 to find out the effect of micronutrients on yield and quality of Onion (Allium cepa L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The maximum yield parameters like neck thickness (1.52 cm), equatorial diameter of bulb (4.94 cm), polar diameter of bulb (5.16 cm), shell thickness of bulb (0.26 mm), fresh weight of bulb (86.83 gm), yield of bulb (12.70 kg plot^-1) and yield of bulb (276.08 q ha^-1). The quality parameters such as total soluble solids (14.46%) and acidity (12.19 mg 100 gm ^-1) were reported maximum under treatment T₉ - RDF + Zinc Sulphate 20 Kg ha^-1 + Borax 10 Kg ha^-1 whereas the minimum values for above parameters were recorded under T₁₁ – control.
