| dc.description.abstract | Onion is one of the most important vegetable crops grown in India, having both the food and medicinal values. Due to its ability to flavour a variety of vegetable preparations, it is a necessary component of every kitchen and is referred to as the "Queen of the Kitchen". The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replications at Vegetable Research Farm of BUAT, Banda, during the Kharif season of 2022. The holistic aim of this experiment was to search out the most suitable variety of Kharif onion that could easily produce the optimum yield with better profitability and also to standardize appropriate organic and inorganic nutrient management techniques that suit well to the crops and variety in the region. The experiment consisted of one-factor treatments. Therefore, a total of 09 treatments combination arrived to test, and every treatments were replicated thrice in an experimental unit i.e., T1- Farmer practice (NPKS): 70-40-40-0 kg/ha, T2- NPKS:100- 50-50-30 kg/ha, T3- NPKS: 120-50-50-40 kg/ha, T4- NPKS: 140-50-60-50 kg/ha, T5- NPKS: 150-50-60-70 kg/ha, T6- 20 tons enriched FYM, T7- 75% RDN + 5 tons enriched FYM, T8- 50 % RDN + 10 tons enriched FYM, T9- 25 % RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM and they were applied with an objective to study the effect of organic and inorganic nutrients on growth, yield, quality and economics of kharif onion. In general, the weather condition was quite conducive resulting in harnessing good crop yields during the year of field experimentation. The soil of the experimental field was silt clay loam in texture having moderate basicity (pH-8.2, EC-0.31) and poor fertility. Overall, the soil holds organic carbon of 0.38 %, available nitrogen of 254 kgha-1 , available phosphorus of 17.3 kgha-1 , potassium of 259.3 kg ha-1 and Sulphur of 13.96, respectively. On the basis of result obtained and summarized from the present study, it can be concluded that all the observations taken for kharif onion were found to be superior with the application of organic and inorganic nutrients. In the study, it was observed that the application of T9-25 % RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM increased all growth and yield parameters such as plant height (cm), number leaves (cm), neck thickness (cm), bolting percentage, days to maturity (60-70%) neck fall followed by T7- 75% RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM and T8- 50% RDN + 10 tons enriched FYM. While the maximum B: C was recorded under T5-NPKS: 150- 50-60-70 kg/ha followed by T5- NPKS: 150-50-50-30 kg/ha, T4- NPKS: 140-50-60-50 kg/ha and T8-50% RDN + 10 tons enriched FYM. There for among all the combinations of organic and inorganic nutrients applied 25 % RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM was found significantly most effective in increasing the yield and yield attributing traits. Hence, application of T9-25 % RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM recorded higher yield (232.22 q/ha) and excellent quality bulbs may be suggested for cultivation in kharif onion as well as the maximum net return per hectare but maximum B: C ratio observed in Treatment T5- NPKS: 150-50-50-30 kg/ha due to low cost of cultivation. However, we can see the soil status in treatment T9-25 % RDN + 15 tons enriched FYM, that is significantly improve the soil health and fertility under Bundelkhand region. | |
