Title: Organic amendment and mulch on yield of onion
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at a farmer field in Saltha upazilla of Faridpur district, Bangladesh to evaluate the influence of organic amendment and mulch on the growth and yield of onion (Allium cepa) cv. Taherpuri. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Treatments were no organic amendment and no mulch or control (T0), mulch (T1), organic amendment (T2) and organic amendment + mulch (T3). Results indicated that leaves per plant, plant height, diameter of bulb, single bulb weight and bulb yield were increased significantly with the application of organic amendment and mulch. Yield contributing characters and yield was found in ascending order (T0 <T1 <T2 <T3). The value of nitrogen, potassium and boron were increased without changing status where organic matter, phosphorous, sulpher and zinc amount reserved sharply.
