 ABSTRACT

A study was carried out at the Research and Nursery of College of Forestry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The study was comprised of Ten Treatments replicated thrice. The results showed maximum plant height (29.39 cm) at 30 DAT, (54.06 cm) at 60 DAT, (57.54 cm) at 90 DAT, Neck thickness (1.383 cm) at 90 DAT, leaf length (49.707 cm) at 90 DAT, numbers of leaves (8.86) at 90 DAT, Bulb weight (73.977 g), Bulb diameter (5.323 cm), Bulb height (6.030 cm), Bulb yield/plot (11.09 Kg/plot) and (27.737 Kg/Ha) in Treatment T6 (75% NPK +25 % Poultry Manure maximize the onion growth and yield under Subabul ( Leucaena leucocephala) based Agroforestry system. Therefore it may be recommended to the farmers for obtaining better growth and yield.

Keywords: Agroforestry, Fertilizer, Inorganic, Organic, Onion.
