Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The present demonstration of White onion variety - Agrifound White was conducted in NHRDF Rajkot & Talaja center in Gujarat state during the year of Rabi season 2009 – 2010 and 2010-2011 with help of financial assistance of NHB Gurgaon for 32 ha. Per year. The result observed from demonstration of 4 districts i.e. Amreli, Bhavnagar, Junagadh Rajkot, onion bulb yield levels were higher in Amreli & Bhavnagar compared to Rajkot & Junagadh district. In Amreli district, yields ranged from 215 to 252 quintal per ha. In demonstration with average of 229.7 qt./ha. Compared to 202 qt. per ha in General plots, thereby giving more than 13% increase in yield. Similarly yield level of demonstration was ranging from 218-247 qt. per hectare for demonstration plots of Bhavnagar area with average yield 232.8 qt. per hectare compared to 206 qt. per hectare in general plots, thereby giving 13% increase in yield. The T.S.S. & Dry matter ranged even up to 16-17% at some location in Bhavnagar district indicating that these areas can produce better quality of white onion as required for processing industries & export purpose.
