 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi session 2015-16 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow to study the effect of weed and fertilizer management on growth and weed parameters of Onion (Allium cepa L.). Experiment was conducted in randomized block design with 18 treatments and three replications.  The treatment T5 (Weed free) recorded significantly lowest weed density, dry weight of weed and higher weed control efficiency. All the growth attributes of onion at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplanting viz., Height of plant No of leave//plant, neck thickness, No. of days required for bulb formation, No. of days taken to maturity were recorded maximum in the treatment T5 (Weed free).

Key words:  onion, weed management, fertilizer management, Pendimethalin, Oxyfluorfen, and Fluazipop-p-butyl
