Abstract
Field experiments were carried out for three years (2013-15) involving three irrigation methods and six INM treatments comprising of organic manures (Farmyard manure, press-mud compost and vermicompost) in combination with recommended dose of fertilizers (100:50:50 kg ha-1 N, P2O5 and K2O) and 125:62.5:25 kg ha-1 N, P2O5 and K2O as per soil test, replicated thrice in split plant design, along with absolute control to study their influence on soil properties and storability of rabi onion . The drip irrigation and RDF along with FYM recorded highest plant height, number of leaves, equatorial diameter, polar diameter, bulb yield, water use efficiency and total nutrient uptake in rabi onion, highest gross monetary returns, maximum net income, highest B:C ratio (3.91) , maximum net extra income and lower total loss during storage of onion over other treatment combinations.
