Abstract

The combined use of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers resulted in significantly higher plant height (82.27 cm), number of leaves (13.80), neck thickness (1.23 cm), polar diameter (5.88 cm), equatorial diameter (6.76 cm), average weight of bulb (83.80 g), bulb yield (54.63 t ha−1) and TSS (12.93°Brix) when the crop received 110: 40: 60: 40 kg NPKS + 7.5 t FYM + 2.5 t PM + 2.5 t Vermicompost ha−1.
