The results of the experiment conducted during Rabi 2010–11 and 2011–12 revealed that integrated treatment involving seed treatment with carbendazim @ 2g/kg+ soil application of neem cake @5q/ha +Trichoderma harzianum @2kg/ac + dipping the seedlings in Pseudomonas fluorescens @10g/l+ spray with boron @2g/l+multi K@5g/l+spray with hexaconazole@0.1 per cent was found to be superior treatments in reducing the twister disease incidence (5.49%) with maximum yields of 279.8 q/ha and maximum net returns of Rs.2, 38, 486/ha as compared to control where the twister incidence and yields were recorded to be 21.34 per cent and 158.3q/ha, respectively. Therefore, this integrated module can be adapted in twister endemic areas of onion for maximum production and returns.
