Storage Quality of Onion (Allium Cepa L.) As Influence by Seedling Age And Biofertilizer Combinations
The mentioned experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Nursery of the college of agriculture, Gwalior, during the rabi_seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21 with the same treatments and the same site. The experiment was laid down in factorial randomized block design with two factors viz., Seedling age and bio fertilizers combinations along with 15 treatment combinations and three replications. The factor one have three levels viz.,S-1 6 weeks, S27 weeks and S38 weeks whereas second factor BF1- un-inoculated (control), BF2- Azotobecter BF3- Azotobecter+ PSB, BF4-Consortia (Azotobecter+ PSB + KMB) and BF5- Arka Microbial Consortium(Azotobecter+ PSB + ZSB). Under the observations, the 7 weeks old seedlings were performed well for low physical weight loss, bulb sprouting, and bulb rotting under different stages of the storage condition. The BF5- Arka Microbial Consortium(Azotobecter+ PSB + ZSB) has observed superior for the same observations like low physical weight loss, bulb sprouting, and bulb rotting under different stages.
