Response of Onion (Allium cepa L.) to Methods of Sowing and Weed Management Practices

Onion could be grown equally profitable either by transplanting or broadcasting. Effective, efficient and economic weed management was achieved through pre-emergence application of fluchloralin or pendimethalin at 0.9 kg ha⁻¹ supplemented with one hand weeding at 40 days stage of crop. Oxidiazonat 0.75 kg ha⁻¹ proved effective against Digera arvensis and Eclipta alba.
