Impact Assessment of Different Organic Manures on Growth, Morphology and Yield of Onion (Allium cepa L.) Cultivar

Abstract

Background and Objective: Fertilizers are essential for agricultural productivity and provide necessary plant nutrients. A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, Chauras Campus, Department of Horticulture, H.N.B Garhwal University, Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand. Materials and Methods: During winter season 2014-15 to evaluated the influenced of different organic manures and bio-fertilizer on various quantitative and qualitative traits of onion cv. Pusa Red. Results: Results of the study showed that the combined uses of organic manures are more effective as compression to single applied organic manure. In our study combine applied fertilizer enhanced growth and morphology and biochemical characteristic of plant. Yield characteristic including bulb diameter (cm), fresh weight of bulb (g) and total yield (kg/plot) was also higher in combined uses of fertilizer treated plants. Conclusion: Study concluded that the efficacy of bio fertilizers can be enhanced by increasing the combine dose of bio-fertilizers and provide suitable carriers to replace chemical fertilizers load for cultivation with eco-friendly and organic nutrient technologies.
