) and four levels of intra-row spacing (7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 cm) were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant effect of intra-row spacing on most of plant growth, bulb yield and bulb characters studied was noticed. Similarly, farmyard manure showed significant effect on mean bulb weight, weight loss, and bulb rotting. The interaction effects of intra-row spacing and farmyard manure rates showed significant influence on biological, total, marketable and unmarketable bulb yields. Highest total bulb yield, 58.74 t ha -1 and marketable bulb yields 57.77 t ha -1 were obtained from plants spaced at 7.5 cm and plots received 30 t ha -1 farm yard manure. The highest weight loss and bulb rotting were observed at wider intra-row spacing (15 cm) and highest farmyard manure application, which was 30 t ha -1 . Intra-row spacing of 7.5 cm and 20 t ha -1 farmyard manure rate gave good marketable bulb yield and better storage life under the study area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
