Type: article
Abstract: The present study entitled “Effect of micronutrient management zinc and boron on crop growth, yield and quality of Onion (Allium cepa L.)” was undertaken in the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science, Prayagraj, 211007 during the Rabi season of 2019-2020. The Experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Results revealed that the application of T9:3.5 Zn + 3.5 B + RDF (100:50:50) influenced most of the characteristics significantly and recorded the highest values of plant height (73.52), number of leaves plant-1 (10.45), neck diameter (1.42 cm) fresh weight of bulb (94.18), dry weight of bulb (89.51), days to first bulb harvesting (49.71), diameter of bulb (9.65cm), bulb yield per plot (18.84), bulb yield (t ha-1) (62.79), ascorbic acid (mg/10g fresh weight) (14.35) and TSS (ºBrix) (11.93).
