onion and its value added products have shown great promise recently in some rural
and urban areas in Nepal. This crop not only harnesses specific ecological niches but
also has it's potentials in local income and employment generation as well as import
substitution. Study on onion production and marketing wa~ carrieq out in 2007. Primary
and secondary data were used for the mterpretation. Primary data were collected
purposively from the onion producing farmers. Out of different types of vegetable
production the income contribution of onion was one percent only. The average price of
onion in the farm gate and wholesale market were Rs 9 and Rs 12 respectively. The
dry onion bulb supply was 97% from India and 3% from Nepal where as the green
onion vegetable supply was one percent from lndai and 99% from Nepal. The
constraints of onion production were high cost of cultivation, low price, available to
farmers and poor seed quality. There is po_ssible of growing off session onion in Nepal
as Agri found dark red variety is performing well both in mountain Tarai.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=261 Opportunities and Constraints on Onion Production In Nepal [printed text] / Megh B.

Title : Integrated Plant Nutrient Management for Onion Seed Production Material Type: printed text Authors: Dev Nidhi Tiwari, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 24-28 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Plant nutrient management, Onion seed production, Flowering, Bolting Abstract: Plant-nutrient management study was conducted on onion seed production
through off-season bulbs in 2008 and 2009 in mid hill, Deurali, Palpa, Nepal.
The aim of experiment was to identify the best combination of plant nutrient to
obtain optimum seed yield of onion. Randomized complete block design was
employed with three replications consisting seven combinations of organic and
inorganic fertilizers along with micronutrients as treatment. A total of 42 plants
of Agri Found Dark Red variety were accommodated in a unit experimental plot
of 5.04 m2 with 40cm x 30cm planting spacing. Observation was taken on
number of harvested plants, days to 50% bolting and flowering and seed yield.
Treatments had highly significance effects on days to 50% bolting and seed yield
and days to 50% flowering was only significant. Early bolting (40.2 days) and
early flowering (77 days) was observed in manure and fertilizer application of
FYM 20tha-1 and 60:60:60kg N:P2O5:K2Oha-1. Delayed bolting (45 days) and
flowering (80.2 days) was observed in application of FYM 20tha-1. Similarly,
highest seed yield of 813kgha-1 was observed with application of 40kg K2Oha-1,
FYM 20tha-1 and 60:60kg N:P2O5ha-1 supplemented with two sprays of
Multiplex. It suggested that application of combination of organic and inorganic
fertilizers accompanied with micronutrient is essential for better seed yield of
onion.

Title : Study on Off-Season Onion Production in River-Basin Environment of Mid and Far-Western Regions of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: B. B. Rokaya, Author ; K. B. Bhandari, Author Pagination: 367-372 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: mid western region, onion varieties , off season, sets 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.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=577 Study on Off-Season Onion Production in River-Basin Environment of Mid and Far-Western Regions of Nepal [printed text] / B. B. Rokaya, Author ; K. B. Bhandari, Author . - [s.d.] . - 367-372 p.
