Influence of foliar nutrients application on growth and yield of onion grown in nutrient deficient soil

Abstract: Commercially available foliar spray labeled as ‘Planto-fuel’ increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) most of the growth traits viz., leaf length, bulb diameter (7.6 cm), bulb length (5.9 cm), leaves fresh weight/plant, neck fresh weight/plant, bulb fresh weight/plant (166.6 g) and plant fresh weight. It also produced the maximum yield (14.2 tons/ha) while the basal application of DAP significantly increased the number of leaves/plant and 2nd best results in yield whereas the lowest yield was observed through water … Show more

“…-1 ) might be related to its beneficial effects on vegetative growth characters, which probably supplied more photosynthesis and hence, might help in increasing yield potential. These results are in line with those obtained by Sajid et al (2012), Kandil et al (2013), Rahman et al (2015), Shafeek et al (2015 and El-Hamdi et al (2016).…”

“…The positive effect of copper on the vegetative growth of onion may be due to copper is essential micronutrients for plants which play as important role for activation of many enzymes (El-Hadidi et al, 2016). These results agree with those obtained by Allam et al (2013), Ur Rahman et al (2015 and El-Zemrany et al (2016).…”

“…The healthy plants contain about 8-20 µgg -1 copper, while the deficient plants contain less than 6 µgg -1 . Allam et al (2013) and Rahman et al (2015) reported that treated onion plants with copper as foliar spraying enhanced its growth parameters, yield components and yield. Also, Ballabh et al (2013) stated that supplied onion plants with copper led to highest quality content and yield increases.However, an adequate nutrient supply requires a good knowledge of different guidelines including the rate of supply, the timing supply, the chemical forms, and the downward movement in the soil.…”

“…CuSO4 role as a crucial micronutrient for plant growth and the activation of several enzymes may account for the increase in onion production, quality, and Cu absorption seen following foliar application of CuSO4 at 0.30%. The same outcomes were reported by Rahman et al [37] and El-Hadidi et al [38]. However, significant increase in Cu uptake of the bulb onion might be due to the foliar spraying of CuSO4 which confirm that fertilizers are absorbed right at the site where they are used and are effective sources of traits and better nutrient uptake by onion bulb under foliar fertilization than soil application [39,40].…”
