The study conducted on kharif onion production involving planting time, size of setts and methods of planting revealed that August planting dates were the best compared to July and September dates. The setts planted on August, 16 recorded highest bulb yield of 145.17q/ha followed by August, 1 planted setts (127.63q). The size of setts also exhibited significant bearing on the bulb yield. Whereas, the largest setts (> 2.00cm) recorded highest yield of 119.00 quintals followed by 107.70 quintals from medium grade setts (1.50–2.00cm), the smallest setts (1.50–1.00cm) recorded minimum production (67.47q), across all planting dates and methods of planting. Among the methods of plantings, raised bed method exhibited highest bulb yield (111.30q/ha), followed by flat beds (106.30q), across all planting dates and size of setts.
