Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different micronutrients on plant and soil nutrient status of onion. The highest observation or uptake of nutrients was observed in T11 i.e. RDF + ZnSo4 (1.0%) + Borax (0.5%) + FeSo4 (1.0%) + MgSo4 (1.0%). It is indicated that the use of different micronutrients in combination offers a great opportunity to increase the production in onion.
