Evaluation of suitable high yielding onion varieties for central dry zone of Karnataka under protective irrigation.

摘要

Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2002, 2003 and 2004 to evaluate high yielding onion cultivars (Arka Kalyan, Arka Niketan, Arka Pragathi, Arka Bindu, Arka Pitambar and Nasik Red-53; and control cultivars Pusa Red and Bellary Red) suitable for growth in the central dry zone of Karnataka, India. The highest mean bulb yields were obtained from Arka Kalyan (28 765 kg/ha) and Arka Niketan (27 046 kg/ha), which were higher than those obtained from the control cultivars Bellary Red (22 977 kg/ha) and Pusa Red (16 810 kg/ha).
