Abstract
Quality Seed Production of Onion (Allium Cepa L.) cv. Sukhsagar as Influenced by Bulb Size and Date of Planting
Highlights
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is by far the most important vegetable crop grown in India
Lower productivity of onion in India could be attributed to the limited availability of quality seeds and associated production technologies used, among the others
True to type selection of bulb and time of planting are the basic ethics in the production and supply of quality onion seed
Summary
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is by far the most important vegetable crop grown in India. The area and production of onion in India are about 10.51 lakh hectares and 168.13 Lakh tonnes of bulb, respectively, with an average productivity of 16.0 t/ha (Anonymous, 2013). True to type selection of bulb and time of planting are the basic ethics in the production and supply of quality onion seed. The time of planting has great impact over the seed yield [3,4,5] and incidence of the disease. Keeping the above in view, the present experiment was envisaged to work out the most profitable bulb size and planting time for economically successful onion seed production
