Abstract
The experiment was conducted Rabi season of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at the research farm of R.B.S College Bichpuri, Agra (U.P.). The investigation comprised of all combination eight treatment of 100%RDF (T1), 100%RDF+PSB (T2), 100% RDF+FYM (T3), 100%RDF+PSB+FYM (T4), 80%RDF+PSB (T5), 80%RDF+FYM (T6), 80%RDF+PSB+FYM (T7), control 75% RDF (T8), which were replication in random block design. Treatment T4 (100%RDF+ PSB+FYM) was related as the best treatment for majority of character like height of plant, numbers of green leafs per plant, length of longest leaf, width of longest leaf, diameter of pseudo-stem, diameter of bulb, weight of bulb, bulb yield per plot, bulb yield per hectare. Seeds of onion pusa red found treated with 0.2% thiram to check the Infection of damping off and seedling per transplanted after seven weeks at 15 cm X 10 cm spacing on 1m X 1m plot accommodating 45 plants in a plot. The results revealed the among the various treatments.
