“…Thus, combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers could produce better yield than inorganic fertilizers alone. The present result agreed with previous findings obtained in onion [Abbey & Kanton, 2004, Gambo et al, 2008 and tomato [Babajide et al, 2008].…”

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of combined application of organic manures with recommended inorganic fertilizers (RIF) and to find out the best combination of applications on green pod yield of chilli cv. MIPC-01 (Mahailluppallama Kaludawali Selection). The following five treatment combinations viz. T1-No fertilizer (control plot), T2-100% RIF, T3-50% RIF + 15 t ha-1 cattle manure, T4-50% RIF + 15 t ha-1 cattle manure + 250 kg ha-1 partially burnt paddy husk, T5-50% RIF + 15 t ha-1 cattle manure + 500 kg ha-1 partially burnt paddy husk were laid out in a Randomised Completely Block Design and replicated four times. The measurements related to growth and yield parameters were taken using destructive random sampling method. The results revealed that among the tested fertilizer combinations, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in plant height, root length, number of flowers, average numbers of pod per plant and pod length compared to the control treatment. The application of 50% RIF, 15 t ha-1 cattle manure along with 500 kg ha-1 partially burnt paddy husk produced higher number of pods per plant (10.50 and 24.50) and average pod weight per plant (40.42 g cm and 90.16 g) over the control treatment at 120 and 150 DAT (days after transplanting) respectively. It is concluded that application of 50% RIF with 15 t ha-1 cattle manure and 500 kg ha-1 partially burnt paddy husk is the best combination to obtain higher green pod yield of chilli.

“…The organic fertilizers increase the bulb weight by providing the nitrogen to the plants. The nitrogen increases the vegetative growth of plants which results in more number of leaves, length of leaf etc, which later on increase the bulb weight and bulb yield [34]. This discussion also agreed with [26] who reported that onion bulb size and bulb weight increased by organic manures.…”

An experiment was carried out to investigate the "Organic manures effect on the bulb production of onion cultivars under semiarid condition". The experimental design was Randomized Complete Block Design with split plot arrangement with three replications. The experiment was consisted of two factors i.e. the organic manures Farmyard manure (FYM), Poultry manure (PM), Spent mushroom compost (SMC), ½FYM + ½PM, ½FYM + ½SMC, ½PM + ½SMC and 1 /3FYM + 1 /3PM + 1 /3SMC were subjected to main plot at the rate of 10 tons ha-1 and onion cultivars (Parachinar-Local, Swat-1 and Swat-Local) were maintained to the sub plot. The onion yield and bulb production was significantly affected by both of organic manures application and onion cultivars. The application of organic manure (poultry manure) significantly improved the plant height (79.3cm),bulb diameter (10.2cm), average bulb weight (93.4g) and total yield ha-1 (33.9tones), while more number of bulb kg-1 (13.1) was noticed with control treatments. The organic manures alone and organic manures combination showed different variation in yield and bulb production of onion crop. In case of onion cultivars, Parachinar-Local cultivar increased significantly the plant height (69.5cm), bulb diameter (7.7cm), average bulb weight (88.1g) and total yield ha-1 (27.4tones), whereas the Swat-Local cultivar gave more number of bulb kg-1 (11.2). The interaction of organic manure (poultry manure) and onion cultivar (Parachinar-Local) also affected the yield of onion. In case of interaction the organic manure (poultry manure) @ 10 tons ha-1 with onion cultivar (Parachinar-Local) suited for the yield of onion crop. From results it is concluded that the onion cultivar (Parachinar-Local) received organic manure (poultry manure) @ 10 tons ha-1 showed best result in bulb yield at semi-arid condition.

“…The present results agreed with those obtained from onion plant by Arisha et al (2003), Abbey and Kanton (2003); Gambo et al (2008), Ouda and Mahadeen (2008) and Seran et al (2010). Within the organic manure sources; the best results were attained from onion plants receiving CRS following by that supplied with FYM and lately CTR.…”

A field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Faculty of Agric.; El-Mansoura Univ. during the winter season of 2011-2012 to investigate the various combinations among organic manures, growth regulators and biofertilizers on the production of safe and economic onion bulbs. Twenty four treatments were arranged in complete randomized block design with 3 replicates as follows; 1-Farmyard manure (FYM), 2-FYM + humic acid (HA), 3-FYM + cytokinin (CK), 4-FYM + yeast (Y), 5-Compost rice straw (CRS), 6-CRS + H.A, 7-CRS + CK , 8-CRS + (Y), 9-Compost town refuse (CTR), 10-CTR + HA, 11-CTR+CK, 12-CTR+Y. All treatments were studied twice; one in the presence of a mixture of multi strains inoculants and the other without it. Also, the recommended doses of N, P and K fertilizers for onion were put in consideration as a control treatment. Thus, the total numbers of treatment were 25 treatments. Results revealed that; the application of organic manures under investigation gained less vigor plant growth, total bulb yields and its components and nutrient content of onion bulbs as compared to the application of inorganic fertilizers (N,P and K at RD). Within the organic manure sources; the best parameters were attained by onion plants receiving CRS followed by that supplied with FYM and lately CTR. Inoculation of onion seedlings with the mixture of multi strains inoculants in combination with the growth regulators studied and the various organic manures under this investigation gave higher magnitude for all studied parameters than the application of organic manure alone. Moreover, such effect of this interaction gave, approximately the same values of inorganic fertilization for all the aforementioned traits.
