“…He added that bio-fertilizer decreased the amount of chemical nitrogen fertilizer by about 25% also enhances the plant growth and bulb yield due to release of hormones, vitamins and nutrients. Similar findings were also reported byVachan and Tripathi (2017), Shah et al (2019) and El zemrany and Faiyad (2021).…”

T HIS INVESTIGATION explored the effect of copper application under organic and biofertilization on onion growth, yield and yield components, chemical contents and bulb storability as well as economic efficiency during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. In this research, the design of the experiments was split-split design in complete randomized blocks in four replications. The factors were: A. farmyard manure (0.0, 12 and 24 t ha -1 ) where arranged in the main plots, B. copper (0.0 and foliar spray of copper sulphate at rate of 0.1% twice, about 600 L ha -1 ) where randomly allocated in sub plots, and C. biofertilizer (0.0 and inoculation with Azotobacter chroococcum inoculant) where randomly applied in sub-sub plots. The results indicated that increasing FYM levels, foliar spraying of Cu and bio-fertilization improved all studied onion quality and quantity, except copper concentration in onion leaves at 75 days age which affected only by copper application. From the results of this research, it could be recommended to fertilize onion plants with 12 t ha -1 of FYM instead of 24 t ha -1 with Cu spraying and biofertilizer inoculation to maximize the quality, quantity, storability and net return of onion grown in alluvial soil at Middle Egypt conditions.

“…An edible part of onion bulb is composed of blade scales and bladeless scales, and number or thickness of each scale is important in bulb quality related texture, distribution or storage. Number or thickness of each scale, or number of center varies depending on cultivars or environmental factors (Cramer 2000;Lee et al 2015;Shah et al 2019). The percentage of single centers was strongly dependent on cultivar and environmental stress such as water deficiency (Shock et al 2005(Shock et al , 2007.…”

We evaluated and classified forty five onion cultivars according to bulb initiation, bulb and scale characteristics, minerals and organic compounds contents, and storage quality in South Korea during 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 growing seasons. Field experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications. Bulb initiation ranged from 153 days after transplanting (DAT, April 2) to 177 DAT (April 26). Fresh bulb weight (FBW) and bulb index (BI) were 285.5 ± 18.5 g/ individual, 0.93 ± 0.05, respectively. Number of scales (NS), number of center (NC), and scale thickness (ST) were 7.6 ± 0.2, 2.3 ± 0.2, and 5.5 ± 0.2 mm/scale, respectively. Chroma and Lightness of bulb skin were 27.1 ± 1.9, 61.2 ± 2.3, respectively. Storage loss (SL) on December 12 was 19.4 ± 5.9%. Nitrogen (N), Carbon (C) and sulfur (S) contents were 1.36 ± 0.14, 37.9 ± 3.2 and 0.40 ± 0.06 mg kg −1 on a fresh weight basis. Total soluble solids (TSS) and total phenolics content (TPC) were 8.6 ± 0.6 °Bx, 164.8 ± 15.6 mg GE kg −1 on a fresh weight basis. Days from transplanting to bulb initiation was significantly positively correlated with bulb height, NC, dry matter, N, C, S, TSS, TPC, total flavonoids content (TFC) etc., while it was negatively correlated with rot loss and SL. Dry matter content was significantly positively correlated with N, C, S, TSS, TPC, TFC etc., while it was negatively correlated with SL. Storage loss was negatively correlated with N, S, Potassium and TSS. Dendrogram of agglomerative hierarchical clustering for the forty five cultivars based on bulb initiation, bulb and scale characteristics, and bulb minerals and organic compounds contents classified five cultivar groups. Cluster 1 featured the earliest bulb initiation and the greatest SL. Cluster 2 featured the fewest NS and NR, and the thickest ST. Cluster 3 featured the greatest FBW, and the most NS and NC. Cluster 4 featured the greatest BI and the thinnest ST. Cluster 5 featured the lowest SL, and the highest minerals and antioxidant compounds contents. This information should be helpful for onion growers to decide onion cultivar and for onion breeders to promote new cultivars depending on their purpose.

“…The data on ascorbic acid at harvesting stage under influence of various treatment levels of organic manure, inorganic fertilizers and bio-fertilizers for rabi and summer seasons are presented in Table 3. The concentration vitamin C in onion is improved by the presence of organic manures which involves oxidize enzyme activity [2]. The ascorbic acid content was significantly influenced by various treatments in rabi and summer seasons.…”

“…Many reports have indicated that onions have a wide range of beneficial properties for human health, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants as well as carbohydrates and sugar [1]. The important inorganic constituent like phosphorus and calcium are rich in Indian onion and used for various culinary purposes [2]. The spicy (flavor) nature of onion is due to the presence of suphur compounds and quercetin compound responsible for colour of the outer skin of onion.…”

Aims: To find out the response of combined use of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers of nutrients on quality of small onion Aggregatum cv. Thengaithittu. Study Design: The experiment was laid out in randomized block design 9 treatment combinations with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted for two seasons at Adhiparasakthi Horticultural College farm situated at 12°15’N and 78° 20’E longitude, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India during the year 2014-2015. Methodology: The treatments comprised of organic manures, inorganic fertilizer and bio-fertilizers with nine treatments viz., T1: NPK (60:60:30 kg/ha.), T2: Farm yard manure (FYM) (25t/ha.), T3: FYM (25t/ha.) + NPK (60:60:30 kg/ha.), T4: FYM (25t/ha.) +Azospirillum (2kg/ha.)+ NPK (30:30:15 kg/ha.), T5: FYM (25t/ha.) + Phosphobacteria (2kg/ha.) +NPK (60:30:30 kg/ha.), T6: FYM (25t/ha.) + Azospirillum (2kg/ha.) + Phosphobacteria (2kg/ha.) +NPK (30:30:15 kg/ha.), T7: FYM (25t/ha.)+NPK (60:60:30 kg/ha.) + gypsum (50kg/ha.), T8: FYM (25t/ha.) + Azospirillum (2kg/ha.) + Phosphobacteria (2kg/ha.) +NPK (30:30:15 kg/ha.) +gypsum (50 kg/ha.) and T9: FYM (25 kg/ha.) + gypsum (50 kg/ha.). Results: The combined application of N, P, K, FYM, Azospirillum, phosphobacteria and gypsum significantly influenced the total soluble solids (15.77B°), ascorbic acid (14.76 mg/100g) and total sugars (14.72%) contents. The combined application of organic manures, inorganic and bio-fertilizers may be recommended to farmers to get good quality onion.
