ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to study the response of integrated plant nutrients on production of onion through sets in kharif season at Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur (Rajasthan), India during 2010 and 2011. The experiment consisted of 15 treatment combinations of Recommended dose of fertilizer, FYM, Vermicompost, Azotobacter and PSB were evaluated under randomized block design with 3 replications. Result revealed that significantly more plant height, number of leaves per plant and neck diameter at harvest were recorded with treatment T14 (100% RDF+ Vermicompost -2.5 t ha-1 + Azotobacter -2.5 kg ha-1+ PSB -2.5 kg ha-1). The same treatment treatment registered maximum bulb weight (132.22 g), polar diameter (6.06 cm), equatorial diameter (6.19 cm), yield per plot (3.40 kg) and yield per hector (37.22 ton).
Key words :
