“…The data reveal that, the maximum total bulb yield and its components was always associated to planting in wide furrows comparing with planting in ridges in 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons. Ahmed & Hassan (1978), Farrag (1995), Nawer (2006), Kanwar & Akbar (2013) and Geries et al (2015) came to the same results. Table 8 indicate that total yield of bulbs significantly affected by plant density during this study.…”

“…They further noticed that multiplier bulbs were responsible for the observed high unmarketable yield in transplanting method. In contrast, direct seeding significantly increased percentage doubles (Ahmed and Hassan, 1978). The transplants possessed the highest dry mater content (18.45%) followed by direct seeding with the PTOS (16.32%).…”

“…Direct seeding resulted in significantly lower bulb diameter than transplanted seedling (Ketema et al, 2013 andMotallebi et al, 2001). On the contrary, direct seeding increased amount of large bulb as compared to transplanting method (Ahmed and Hassan, 1978). Hoque and Wohab (2013) recorded no significant influence on bulb diameter by planting choices.…”

“…They further stated that bolters were responsible for the observed high unmarketable yield in transplanting method. On the contrary, Ahmed and Hassan (1978) stated that incidence of bolting was increased by direct seeding. The direct seeding method took minimum time to mature bulbs as compared to that of transplants.…”

“…Macias-Duarte et al (2004) and Abdalla et al (1980) observed earlier maturity in direct seeding in comparing to the transplant method. Ahmed and Hassan (1978) reported that transplanting method delayed the maturity of bulbs. Ketema et al (2013) and Motallebi et al (2001) disagree with the present result.…”

A field study was carried out to assess the performance of power tiller operated seeder (PTOS) and to compare the yield, quality, maturity and economic traits of onion under different planting methods at Spices Research Sub-Centre (SRSC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Faridpur, Bangladesh with four planting methods as four treatments: T1) ploughing the main field with high speed rotary tiller (HSRT) + direct seeding with power tiller operated seeder (PTOS), T2) ploughing the main field with HSRT + transplanting of seedlings, T3) ploughing the main field with HSRT + direct seeding in line and T4) ploughing the main field with HSRT + direct seeding as broadcasting. Under the study the treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The outcome of the study revealed that the treatments had a significant influence on the characteristics studied accept yield of onion. Different economic traits of onion were varied among the planting methods. The bulbs under direct seeding with the PTOS matured earlier (133.66days) as compared to the transplant (155.54days). All direct seeding methods showed insignificantly higher yields than that of transplants. The maximum yield (15.05t/ha) was recorded from broadcasting method. The yield performance under direct seeding with the PTOS and transplants were 15.08 and 14.92t/ha, respectively. The broadcasting method had very heterogeneous and under-sized bulbs due to uneven spacing and maximum plant population per unit area. In case of economic performance, transplanting method incurred the highest total cost of production. Maximum net return and benefit-cost ratio (2.95) were calculated from direct seeding with PTOS. So, it is concluded that in Bangladesh, direct seeding method with the PTOS may be a good option for getting early crop and maximum economic benefit.

Effect of cultural practices on quality and yield of onion (Allium cepa L. Var. Safid e Paisaye)

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is among the most cultivated vegetable crops in the world. Afghanistan is thought to be the origin as several local and wild varieties are found in different parts of the country. Safid e Paisaye is a local variety grown in central parts of Afghanistan in the Ghorband valley. This variety has long storability and high market demand among restaurants in the region, but little research has been done to increase the quality and its availability to the market to increase its market share in Afghanistan. Conducted under supervision of Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India, at Agriculture Faculty Research Farm of Kabul University, this investigation looks at plough depth, land preparation methods, and planting date on quality and yield of onion bulb; it also studied other cultural practices including irrigation and fertilization dose and frequency. The parameters studied in this investigation include neck diameter (cm), bulb diameter (cm), neck to bulb ratio, bulb weight (gr), bulb volume (cm3), bulb density (gr/cm3), Total Soluble Solids (TSS) (Brix), firmness (Kg/cm2), marketable yield (MT/Ha), and total yield (MT/Ha). The data revealed that planting date has significant influence on bulb quality and yield of onion. The highest bulb diameter (6.95 cm), bulb weight (121 gr), bulb volume (128 cm3), marketable yield (32.54 MT/Ha), and total yield (34.24 MT/Ha) and the lowest neck to bulb ratio (0.04) were recorded for the first planting date (seed sown in nursery on 10 March - seedlings planted in field on 10 May).
