Abstract: |
A study was carried out to verify the off season onion bulb production technology through set to raise the income and economic status of the onion growing farmers, during the year 2000/0I and 200I/02, at both on-station and onjanns conditions. Four cultivars of the normal season onion were tested with 6 replications, in Randomized Complete Block Design. For both on-station and onjarm experimellts onion sets were produced at ARS, Surkhet. Among the tested cultivars Pusa Red was found good yielder for set production and matured at about I40 DAS. Whereas Nasik Red-53 was found about two weeks earlier among other tested cultivars. In case of offseason onion bulb production, Nasik La/ has performed the best and produced the highest bulb yields (7864 Kglha), in the year 2000101, whereas Nasik Red-53 produced the highest bulb yield (5.8I4 Kglha) in the year 200I/02. In case of onfarm experiment. first year onjarm result showed that Nasik La/ was rite best yielder ( 12238 Kg/ha) among the tested varieties, followed by Nasik Red-53 ( II829 Kg/ha). In the second year (2001102) onjarm result showed that in all the locations of Surkltet, Dailekh and Doti Districts. Nasik Red-53 was the best yielder among all the tested cultivars. Therefore the above study of off-season onion bulb production through sets has identified Nasik Red-53 as the suitable variety for bulb as·well as for fresh vegetable. Adoption of this identified variety will be a new income generative farm enterprise because of the high price for bulb as well as fresh leafy vegetable during the lean period. |
