A field experiment was conducted at Regional Reasearch Station, Karnal during kharif, 1996, 1997 and 1998 to study the effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of kharif onion variety Agrifound Dark Red. The organic manures evaluated were sunflower cake@19 q/ha, poultry manure 57 q/ha and FYM@143 q/ha and 72/q/ha. The inorganic fertilizers evaluated were urea@252 kg/ha, CAN 444 kg/ha and ammonium sulphate 565 kg/ha. The fertilizer & manure quantity was adjusted for uniform quantity of the nutrients. The control plot was maintained without any organic/inorganic fertilizer. The bed size was 3.6 * 1.8 m. The studies revealed that FYM 72.0 q/ha alongwith ammonium sulphate @ 565kg/ha were found effective in increasing the growth, yield and quality contribution characters such as bulb colour, compactness, TSS, drymatter etc. and gave highest net return.
