ABSTRACT
India is second largest producer of onion in the world after China. It is cultivated throughout the country during Kharif, Late Kharif and Rabi seasons. Both mature and immature bulbs are used for in various ways. The present investigation was carried out at Nashik, Maharashtra and Karnal Haryana, during Rabi, 2015-16. The data, revealed that at Nashik highest gross yield (406.75 q/ha) and marketable yield (353.17 q/ha) were recorded in Early Grano and was found at par with Arka Lalima, NHRDF-Red-2 and NHRDF-Red-4 in respect of marketable yield. Highest total soluble solids (14.33 %) was recorded in both Pusa Ridhi and Arka Kirtiman and was at par with Pusa White Flat, Pusa White Round, Arka Lalima and NHRDF-Red-2, however storage data, showed that minimum PLW (10.36 %) and total loss (12.30 %) were recorded in check variety NHRDF-Red-2 and NHRDF-Red-4, respectively, and were found at par with varieties Pusa Ridhi, Pusa White Flat, Arka Lalima and NHRDF-Red-4 in respect of PLW while, Pusa Ridhi, Pusa White Flat and NHRDF-Red-2 regarding total loss. At Karnal, highest gross yield (189.35 q/ha) and marketable yield (169.12 q/ha) were recorded in Hybrid OH-1 and was at par with Early Grano. The storage data revealed that after three months of storage lowest PLW as well as total loss (4.60 %) were recorded in Pusa White Round and found to be at par with varieties Hybrid HO-2 and Pusa Madhvi however, after four and five months of storage PLW and total loss exhibited non-significant differences. It is concluded that the variety which recorded higher yield and minimum total losses can be recommend to the cultivation of this areas.
