Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, for consecutive two years during rabi seasons of 2012 and 2013 to study the influence of bulb size and date of planting on quality seed yield and economics of onion. In this experiment, two different factors were considered, factor: (P) three levels of planting time viz., 15th October, 30th October and 15th November; (B) three levels of bulb size viz, small (≤50g), medium (51- 65g) and large (66 -75g). The experiment consisting of nine treatments combination was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results of over two years of experimentations revealed that 15th November planting of mother bulb exhibited significantly increased the vegetative characteristics viz, plant height (64.58 cm), number of leaves (41.85); flower and umbel characteristics viz.
