 ABSTRACT

The maximum plant height at 30, 60 and 90 DAT was recorded   T2 (Weed free), as compared to T4 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a i/ha). The maximum total number of leaf/plant (7.20) was found T2 (Weed free) as compared to number of leaf/plant (7.04) was found in T4 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a i/ha). The minimum number of days required for bulb formation was recorded under T2 (Weed free), followed by T4 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a. i. /ha). As compared to other treatments.  While maximum number of days required for bulb formation was recored in control.The minimum number of days taken to maturity was recorded under T0 (Control) followed by T3 as compared to other treatments.  While maximum number of days taken to maturity was rescored in (Oxyflurfen@100 g a i/ha + HW at 40 DAT). The maximum neck thickness was noted under the treatment T2 (Weed free) fallowed by T4 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a i/ha) as compared to other treatments in onion.

Key words: Onion, Weed Vegetative Growth, Pendimethalin.
