EFFECT OF APPLICATION OF MICRONUTRIENTS ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF ONION (Allium cepa, L)

Abstract

The effect of soil and foliar application of micronutrients (Mn, Zn and Fe) on two varieties (MDU-1 and CO-3) of onion in black and red soil were studied by a pot experiment. The beneficial effect of soil application of MnSO4 was evidenced, both in yield and quality of onion. Between the two varieties tested, MDU-1 fared better than CO-3 in both the soil types.
