Abstract
A field investigation involving pre-harvest sprays of different growth-regulators such as cycocel, salicylic acid and etheral, and plant protectants like mancozeb, carbendazim and streptocyclin, was carried out during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 201819 and 201920 at Neri, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh to study their effect on production and storage of kharif onion (Allium cepa L.) variety Agrifound Dark Red. Application of salicylic acid @ 100 ppm followed by cycocel @ 2,500 ppm significantly enhanced the crop growth, yield and reduced various storage losses, viz. physiological loss in weight, diameter, sprouting and rotting during 90 days storage period.
