Title : Constraints and Farmer’s Perception on Off Season Green Onion Production in Chitwan - A Survey Material Type: printed text Authors: M. Dhital, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 102-107 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Constraints, off season, green onion, farmers perception Abstract: The survey assessed the constraints and farmer’s perceptions on off season green
onion production in Shukranagar, Jagatpur and Gunjanagar VDCs in Chitwan, Nepal.
The primary data used for the investigation were obtained through the use of
questionnaire, focus group discussion and key informant survey. Thirty commercial
farmers and ten traders were randomly sampled for the study. Major constraints and
influencing factors for green onion production, and marketing system were looked into.
The study revealed that seedling raising was the most important problems faced by the
off season growers followed by weed problem, lack of crop insurance facility, and
diseases and pests. Lack of storage facility was the most important marketing problems
due to highly perishable nature of green onion followed by lack of appropriate
marketing facilities and fluctuation in the market price. Higher market price was the
major influencing factors for green onion cultivation followed by its short duration as
compared to bulb production which takes longer duration.

Title : Effect of Plant Population on Bulb Size and Yield of Marketable Bulbs of Onion Varieties during Off Season Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Shakya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author ; S. K. Shah, Author ; A. Srivastava, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 85-94 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Off season, onion, spacing, varieties Abstract: An experiment was conducted in Sunwal, Nawalparasi district of Nepal to assess the
effect of plant population on bulb size and marketable yield of two onion varieties
during rainy season of 2008. Two off season varieties of onion as main plot factor viz.
Agrifound Dark Red (AFDR) and N-53 and six different plant populations (125, 100,
83.34, 66.67, 50 and 33.34 plants per m2 ) obtained by using different spacings of 10×8,
10×10, 12×10,15×10, 20×10 and 20×15 cm as sub plot factors were used as
treatments and laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Marketable bulb
yield of AFDR (25.55 mt ha-1 ) was higher than that of N-53 (19.78 mt ha-1
). Marketable bulb yield was highest at closer spacing of 10×10 cm for both the varieties which was
26.97 mt ha-1 in AFDR and 22.48 mt ha-1 in N-53. The size of the bulbs increased with
increase in spacing. The most preferred size of bulb was found to be of diameter
between 3.5 to 5 cm whose yield was found highest (2.19 kg/plot) at the closest spacing
of 10×8 cm which was not statistically different from that (2.17 kg/plot) at the spacing
of 10×10 cm. The most preferred sized bulb yield showed a similar trend of increase
as total marketable bulb yield with decrease in spacing. The spacings of 12×10, 10×10
and 10×8 cm produced total marketable bulb yields which were not significantly
different from each other. The highest net return of Rs. 5,68,977 per hectare was found
at the spacing of 12×10 cm for the variety AFDR.

Bhurtyal, Author ; D.R. Bhattarai, Author Pagination: 419-421 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion, set planting, off season, bulb yield, income 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.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=680 Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills [printed text] / Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P.

Title : Evaluation of Different Varieties of Onion and their Transplanting Times for Off-season Production in Mid Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Gautam, I.P., Author ; Bhogendra Khatri, Author ; Govind P. Paudel, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 21-26 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Bulb yield, off-season onion, transplanting date, varieties Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the agro-ecological research site (AER site) of the Regional
Agriculture Regional Station, Lumle, at Deurali in Palpa (1200 masl) during rainy season of
2004 and 2005. The main objective of the experiment was to evaluate the different varieties of
onion and their transplanting time for off-season production in mid hill conditions. Treatments
were four onion varieties, namely LR-241, N-53, Nasik Red and Red Creole and four transplanting
dates as 25 July, 5 August, 15 August, and 25 August. The trial was conducted in RCBD with
factorial arrangement of treatments and replicated three times considering farmer as a replication.
The plot size was maintained 1.4 m2 (1.4 1 m2). Observation was recorded on plant height, plant
stand at maturity, diameter and length of bulbs, neck thickness and yield of green bulbs and green
tops. The varieties showed a significant different only on the fresh bulb production. Transplanting
dates showed a significant difference on the plant height, plant stand at maturity and marketable
bulb production. The highest fresh bulb yield (16.63 t ha_1 observed on the variety N-53. Similarly,
August 15 transplanting date produced the highest bulb yield (15.31 t ha_1) among four transplanting
dates. This novel technology for off-season onion bulb production through seedlings would be good
opportunity for increasing the income of many hill farmers which have no access to low land and
irrigation facility during normal onion production season. The production of green tops in this period
is consumable and easily saleable in the local market. So farmers get extra income from this
technology.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=54
