Background: Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important and indispensable item of every kitchen. It is used as a vegetable, spice and condiment and commands an extensive internal market. Even though onion is one of the major crops in India, its cultivation is not yet popular in Kerala. Successful onion production depends on the selection of varieties that are adapted to different conditions imposed by specific environment and best planting time. In this background, the current study aimed to evaluate five onion varieties in the tropical planes of Kerala and also to study the effect of different planting time and varieties on the performance of onion in Kerala.Methods: Five onion varieties were evaluated in four different dates of planting with an interval of fifteen days. Planting commenced from 10th November to 25th December 2017 in a split plot design with four replications. Yield attributing characters such as number of leaves per plant, leaf length, bolting percentage, neck thickness, bulb weight and yield were noted. Result: All the parameters showed a significant variation over different dates of planting. There was a significant variation in number of leaves per plant, leaf length, bolting percentage, total bulb yield and neck thickness among the varieties. Interaction effect of varieties and dates of planting was significant only for leaf length and total bulb yield. Highest bulb weight was recorded in 25th Nov. planting. Highest yield was recorded in 25th Nov. which was on par with 10th Dec. and 10th Nov. plantings. Arka Kalyan recorded a highest yield, which was statistically on par with Agrifound Dark Red and Arka Pragati. Varieties when planted on 25th Dec. recorded a lowest neck thickness. Agrifound White exhibited a non-bolting behavior in all the dates of planting. Overall performance and yield of onion was found to be better when planting was done on 25th November.

Thirty genotypes collected from India, Burma, and Bangladesh were studied for thier genetic divergence using Mahalanobi´s D2 and Rao´s canonical analysis. Altogether five clusters were formed. The pattern of distribution of genotypes into five clusters was random demonstrating that the geographical isolation might not be the only factor causing genetic diversity. Leaf length and sulfur content contributed predominantly towards genetic divergence. Cluster III recorded the highest means for number of leaves per plant, leaf length, bulb length, plant height, and bulb yield. The results obtained from D2 analysis were confirmed by canonical analysis. The genotype G12 showed highest mean performance for moisture content (88.49%), G13 for leaf length (39.06 cm), G15 for neck diameter at vegetative stage (11.21 mm), bulb length (49.09 mm), plant height (64.82 cm) and as well as bulb yield (13.17 t/ha), G19 for percent sulfur content (0.84) and G26 for number of leaves per plant (12), respectively.

ABSTRACT Correlations and path analysis between characteristics can aid the selection of important attributes in breeding programs. Thus, the objective of this work was to perform genotypic, phenotypic correlations and path analysis under commercial yield of garlic bulbs, depending on morphological and agronomic variables. The experiment was carried out in 2017 at the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri and Universidade Federal de Lavras, using ten garlic genotypes, eight trials and two commercial cultivars, Caçador and Jonas. We evaluated: plant height; number of leaves, total bulb number; total bulb mass, total bulb yield, marketable bulb yield and number of cloves per bulb. The genotypic and phenotypic correlations were positive and significant between marketable yield of bulbs with bulb mass, total yield and number of cloves per bulb, indicating that selection based on these characteristics will help increase the yield of garlic. However, only the number of cloves per bulb had a direct effect and a relevant indirect effect on the marketable yield of garlic.

An experiment was conducted with a local cultivar of garlic to study the effects of planting date and gibberellic acid on the growth and yield of garlic at the field laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2001 to April 2002. Early planting influenced the plant height, leaf number, bulb diameter and total dry matter. With the delay in planting time starting from November 7, the yield was chronologically reduced in later plantings. Significantly the highest bulb yield (2.67 t/ha) was recorded when planting was done on November 7 and lowest yield (0.92 t/ha) was obtained from December 22 planted crop. Bulb yield was higher in control plants than those of GA3 treated plants. The interaction effects of planting date and different concentrations of GA3 differed significantly in respect of plant height, number of leaves, bulb diameter and dry weight of roots, leaves and bulbs and yield of garlic.

The growth and flowering of ‘Rupert’ and ‘Ronina’ lachenalia (Lachenalia) in a greenhouse environment were manipulated by varying planting times and flurprimidol treatments. Bulbs were planted in November, December, January, and February. At each planting date, the following flurprimidol treatments were tested: soaking the bulbs before planting (15 and 30 mg·L−1) or a single foliar spray (15, 30, 45, and 60 mg·L−1). The results showed that foliar application of flurprimidol was ineffective in controlling inflorescence stem height and inflorescence length; only soaking bulbs of ‘Rupert’ in flurprimidol at the concentration of 30 mg·L−1 shortened the inflorescence stem height. Moreover, soaking bulbs in the concentration of 30 mg·L−1 may be recommended for potted lachenalia production, as shorter and wider leaves were obtained and every planted bulb emerged and flowered. The later the date of planting of the bulbs, the more quickly the plants began to flower. As planting time was delayed, inflorescence stem length and leaf length decreased, and the number of florets and leaf width increased. Soaking the bulbs in the retardant (30 mg·L−1) delayed the emergence of flowers for 5–6 days, but the retardant did not affect the number of leaves or the number of florets per inflorescence. Regardless of the factors applied, the two cultivars of lachenalia differed with respect to each of the analyzed traits.

An experiment was carried out to assess the effect of integrated organic and inorganic nitrogen on growth and nutrient concentration in summer onion (Allium cepa var. BARI Piaz-2). The study was done on a silty clay loam soil of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka during kharif (March to October) season. The soil of the experimental site belongs to the Tejgaon series of AEZ No. 28, Madhupur Tract, classified as Shallow Red Brown Terrace Soils in Bangladesh soil classification system. Twelve treatments were used in the experiment and in each treatment, different combinations of urea, cowdung, and vermicompost were used to supply nitrogen (N) at the rate of 120 kg/ha. The treatments were arranged in a RCBD with three replications included- control or no fertilizer supplied (T1), 120 kg N/ha supplied from urea (T2), 100 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 20 kg from cowdung (T3), 100 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 20 kg from vermicompost (T4), 80 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 40 kg from cowdung (T5), 80 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 40 kg from vermicompost (T6), 60 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 60 kg from cowdung (T7), 60 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 60 kg from vermicompost (T8), 40 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 80 kg from cowdung (T9), 40 kg N/ha supplied from urea with 80 kg from vermicompost (T10), 120 kg N/ha supplied from cowdung (T11), 120 kg N/ha supplied from vermicompost (T12). Data on plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, bulb length, and bulb weight of onion were recorded. Samples of bulb and leaf were analyzed for determining the total nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and sulphur content. Height of plant ranged from 24.25 to 39.25 cm with lowest and highest value from T1 and T5, respectively. Like plant height, the longest leaf length (34.35 cm) and bulb length (2.79 cm) was observed in T5, whereas the shortest leaf length (21.20 cm) and bulb length (2.40 cm) was recorded in T1 treatment. Similarly treatment T5 showed the highest value for both bulb weight (30.40 g) and bulb yield (12.16 t/ha), whereas the lowest bulb weight (14.90 g) and bulb yield (5.96 t/ha) was obtained from T1 treatment. Statistically insignificant variations were recorded on number of leaves/plant. The highest nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and sulphur content in bulb (2.30, 0.185, 1.71 and 0.96%, respectively) and in leaf (2.91, 0.183, 2.45, and 0.98%, respectively) were recorded in treatment T5. Whereas, the lowest nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and sulphur content in bulb (1.41, 0.055, 0.89, and 0.66%, respectively) and in leaf (2.15, 0.053, 1.71 and 0.63%, respectively) was found in T1. Therefore, the overall results suggest that treatment T5 which supplied 40 kg N/ha from cowdung and rest 80 kg from inorganic urea resulted in maximum plant growth and nutrient concentration and can be recommended for optimum production of summer onion DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v39i3.21995 Bangladesh J.

Le manque de méthodes standardisées pour la pépinière d’oignon a suscité la présente étude. Elle a pour objectif d’évaluer deux pratiques culturales de pépinière d’oignon à travers les caractéristiques végétatives des plantules. À cet effet cinq variétés (Bati, Damani, Cara, Karibou et Safari) et deux milieux de conduite de pépinière : terre et alvéole ont été mis en comparaison sur le site expérimental de l’Université Peleforo GON COULIBALY de Korhogo de janvier à février 2020. Sur terre, trois doses de semis (3, 4 et 5 g/m2) et dans les alvéoles trois graines par poquet ont été expérimentées. Les données morphologiques ont été collectées 40 jours après semis. Le logiciel SPSS 22.0 a été utilisé pour le traitement statistique des données collectées. Une analyse de variance incorporant la comparaison des moyennes selon Newman et Keuls au seuil de 5% a été réalisée pour comparer les caractéristiques morphologiques des différentes variétés entre elles. Il ressort de cette étude que les plantules élevées dans les alvéoles ont eu en moyenne les tailles les plus élevées (17,32 cm). Sur terre, les tailles ont varié de 14,77 cm (dose de 05 g/m2) à 16,09 cm (dose 03 et 04 g/m2). Les doses de semis 03 et 04 g/m2 ont enregistré les plantules les plus robustes relativement au nombre de feuilles (03), les poids frais (0,35 g) et sec (0,035 g) et le taux de matière sèche (10%). Les variétés Damani, Karibou et Safari ont eu les meilleures performances relativement aux caractéristiques morphologiques. La robustesse de la plantule est corrélée positivement à sa taille et au nombre de feuilles. Au vu des résultats, la pépinière d’oignon peut être conduite dans les alvéoles ou sur terre à la dose 04 g/m2. La sélection des plantules en pépinière peut se faire en se basant uniquement sur la taille de la plantule et le nombre de feuilles. The lack of standardized methods for the onion nursery prompted this study. Its objective was to evaluate two cultivation practices of the onion nursery through the vegetative characteristics of the seedlings. For this purpose, five varieties (Bati, Damani, Cara, Karibou and Safari) and two nursery management: soil and well plate, were compared on the experimental site of Peleforo GON COULIBALY University in Korhogo from January to February 2020. On soil, three doses of seeding (3, 4 and 5 g/m2) and, in the plate, 3 seeds/holes were tested. Morphological data were collected 40 days after sowing. In this sample, SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical data processing. An analysis of variance incorporating the comparison of means according to Newman and Keuls at the 5% threshold was used to compare the morphological characteristics of the different varieties. It appears from this study that the seedlings reared in the well plate were averagely the highest with 17.32 cm. On soil, the heights varied from 14.77 cm (dose 05 g/m2) to 16.09 cm (dose 03 and 04 g/m2). Seeding doses of 03 and 04 g/m2 recorded the most robust seedlings in relation to the number of leaves (03), fresh (0.35 g) and dry (0.035 g) weights and dry matter rate of 10%. The Damani, Karibou and Safari varieties had the best performances concerning morphological characteristics. The robustness of the seedling is positively related to its size and the number of leaves. Besides well pate, a seeding rate of 04 g/m2 can be recommended for the management of the nursery on soil. The selection of seedlings in the nursery can be done based only on the size of the seedling and the number of leaves.
