Title: Effect of foliar application of Miyobi on growth and bulb yield of onion
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Field Laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University to investigate the effect of Miyobi (Plant growth regulators, dissolved in water) on morpho-physiological, yield attributes and yield of onion cv. Taherpuri. The experiment comprised of four concentrations of Miyobi viz., 2, 3, 4 and 5 mgL-1 and fresh water as control and those were sprayed on onion plant at 40 and 60 days after transplanting. Foliar application of Miyobi increased plant height, leaf number, leaf length, leaf breadth, pseudo-stem diameter, number of roots, root length, absolute growth and yield contributing characters over control. Results revealed that morphological, growth and yield contributing characters and bulb yield increased with increasing concentration of Miyobi up to 4 mgL-1 and further increment of hormone concentration had adverse effect on plant growth and development. The highest plant height, leaf number, leaf length and breadth, pseudo-stem diameter, root number, root length, total dry mass production and absolute growth rate was recorded in plants treated with 4 mgL-1 Miyobi solution followed by 3 mgL-1 with same statistical rank. In control plants where only water was sprayed, the above studied parameters were the lowest. The bulb yield was recorded maximum at 4 mgL-1 Miyobi (11.38 t ha-1) due to increased bulb length, bulb diameter and single bulb weight which was statistically similar to 3 mgL-1 (11.34 t ha-1). In contrast, 5 mgL-1 Miyobi had the adverse effect on yield attributes and yield compared to 3 and 4 mgL-1 Miyobi application indicating inhibitory effect of Miyobi at high concentration of 5 mgL-1 on onion. Thus Miyobi with 3 or 4 mgL-1 may be applied for increased bulb yield of onion.
