Abstract

An Investigation was undertaken to fix the optimum stage of harvest for seed purpose in bellary onion. From the results, it could be concluded that the seed crops of bollary onion should be harvested 125 days after planting bulbs for obtaining high quantity of quality seeds. A reduction in seed quality and an Increase in shattering percentage were also observed due to delayed harvests. The seed gathered from the flower heads produced by the 1/4th top cut bulbs was better in quality than those from whole bulbs.

Keywords: Bellary onion, Harvest data, Planting method, Seed quality
