Abstract:

The onion plant was shown to be tolerant to water stress, being able to grow and produce seed yields in arid zones with limited amounts of rainfall and without irrigation. Under these conditions, large mother bulbs and high plant density (60 cm inter-row and 10 cm intra-row spacing) gave the best results. Nitrogen was very important for the production of seed yield, but high amounts applied before planting and additional supply during the growing-season as top dressing did not have a significant effect on seed yield. Similarly, enrichment of the soil with phosphorus or potassium did not increase yield. © 1981.
