Abstract


Onion is an important crop on the Anakapalle area, being a short duration money crop either preceding or succeeding paddy in wet lands or grown in rotation with a variety of crops in garden and dry- lands. Beyond the personal labour of the ryot it does not require much cash expenditure in its cultivation, and generally fetches decent returns. There are three seasons for onions: (1) January to March, during which a Paira crop is raised from seedlings; (2) May to July, during which a punasa crop is raised from bulbs from the paira crop; and (3) September to December, during which a rainy weather crop is raised from bulbs of the Punasa crop.
