ABSTRACT
The present on the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth of onion (Allium cepa L.) under North Gujarat condition was carried out during rabi season of 2016-17 at the farm of College of Horticulture, S.K. Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Dist. Mehsana, Gujarat. Experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with three replications. Total thirteen treatments were evaluated with respect to growth parameters and soil status of onion. Among the various treatments, treatment T7 (75% RDN through vermicompost + 25% N through chemical fertilizer) was recorded significantly superior to other treatments with respect to growth and soil status.The growth parameters viz., maximum plant height (39.04 cm and 69.42 cm), number of leaves (5.57 and 10.36), neck thickness (0.84 cm and 1.82 cm) were recorded with treatment T7 at 45 and 90 DAT respectively, whereas, minimum bolting per cent (2.15 %) were recorded with same treatment. The similar trends where also observed for the soil status viz., available N, P and K concentration. available nitrogen (192.54 kg/ha), phosphorous (36.67 kg/ha) and potassium (292.42 kg/ha) from the soil were recorded under treatment T7.
Key words :
Available N, P, K, Bolting per cent, INM, Onion, Plant height, Neck thickness, Number of leaves, Soil status.
