Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola Online published on 2 January, 2017. Abstract In order to determine the effects of different levels of NPK and Sulphur on growth and yield of onion varieties in late kharif season, an experiment was conducted at Main garden, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, during late kharif season of 2013–14 and 2014–15. An experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main factor (V) consists of six different varieties, V1-Bhima Red, V2-Bhima Raj, V3-Bhima Super, V4-Agrifound Dark Red, V5-Akola Safed and V6-Phule Samarth and four nutrient management treatments were included as subfactor (N), N1-100: 50: 50: 00 Kg NPK and S ha−1, N2-100: 50: 50: 30 Kg NPK and S ha−1, N3-150: 50: 50: 00 Kg NPK and S ha−1and N4-150: 50: 50: 30 Kg NPK and S ha−1. The different varieties with application of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur at different levels exerted a significant influence on growth and yield parameters of onion. On the basis of results, the maximum plant height, number of leaves, bulb diameter, bulb length, Average cured weight of bulb and bulb yield (kg/plot & q/ha) was obtained in thevariety Bhima Raj with application of 150: 50: 50: 30 Kg NPK and S ha−1.
