| Abstract: |
Field experiments to assess the effect of six set planting dates on off-season onion bulb
production were carried out at Horticulture Research Division. Khumaltar ( 1360 mas/) for
four years from June to December mollths of 2000 to 2003. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Block design with six treatments as planting date. Each treatn1ent was
replicated three times and two em diameter sets of Nasik Red cultivar produced in previous
season were used in the experiment. The result shows that the highest marketable mean bulb
yield per plot (5.7 kg) was produced (P<0.01) when the,$.t1tS were planted on (26 July) and
this date was followed by June 9 (5.2 kg per plot) and June 24 (4.1 kg per plot). The results
further showed that the low bulb yields in other plaming dates were due to non-bulbing,
thick neck and bolting. These findings had been retested at ten farmers' fields of Nala and
Sankhu Villages of Kavre district in collaboration with 1ntemational Development
Enterprises (IDE) and the results were very encouraging in the sense that these findings
have been accepted by farmers. Farmers of these villages reported that they will grow offseason
onion from sets in large areas in commercial scale in coming years. They further
reported that the average cash income per ropani received Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 25,000 on
adoption of these techtwlogy fam1ers within 70 days of set planting was. |
