Effect of Soaked Allium Cepa L. Bulbs in Growth Regulators on their Growth and Seeds Production

Abstract

An field investigation was carried out to obtain the best treatment for onion seed quantity and quality in seasons of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. The earliness of bolting and bolting period was found from treated onion bulbs with GA3 at 1000ppm and CCC at 100ppm compared to the control during both seasons. The highest significant differences of seed yield, weight of 1000 seeds and seed germination % was found from GA3 at 1000ppm compared to the control. On the other side, there are significant differences in seed yield were found from CCC at 1000 ppm, while the average weight of 1000 seeds and seed germination was obtained from CCC at 100ppm.
