Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Performance of Different Organic Manures on Onion (Alium cepa L) in Srinagar Valley of Uttarakhand” under usual practice was carried out at Rural Technology Demonstration Unit, the Department of Rural Technology, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Chauras Campus (Uttarakhand). The present experiment comprised of 8 treatments consist of different organic manure viz, FYM, Vermicompost, Poultry manure used singly or with the combination of two or three viz FYM @ 15 t/ha, Poultry manure @ 7.5 t/ha, Vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha, FYM + Poultry manure @ 7.5t/ha+3.75t/ha, FYM + Vermicompost @ 7.5t/ha+3.75t/ha, Poultry manure + Vermicompost @3.75t/ha+3.75t/ha, FYM + Poultry + Vermicompost @ 7.5t/ha+3.75t/ha+3.75t/ha, Control (Without any treatment). The Experiment was carried out in RBD with three replications. Observation regarding performance of different organic manures on growth parameters including plant height and number of leaves recorded at 30,60,90 DAS and at harvest. Yield and yield attributing traits measures neck thickness, length of bulb, diameter of bulb, fresh weight of bulb, dry weight of bulb, root length and yield. The performance of treatment T7 FYM @ 7.5 t/ha+ [email protected]/ha+ Vermicompost 3.75 t/ha was found the best in maximum characters taken for study.
