Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of land configuration with different levels of Spacing and fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of onion (allium cepa L.),†was conducted at educational farm Department of Horticulture, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani during rabi season of 2017-2018. There were three factors studied in this experiment one major factor viz., A) Land configuration include two levels (P1- Flat Beds and P2- Raised beds) and two sub factors viz., A) Spacing include three levels (S1- 15x7.5cm, S2- 15x10cm and S3-15x15cm) and B) Fertilizers Include three levels (F1- 75:50:50, F2-100:50:50 and F3- 125:75:75kg NPK/ha). Overall there were eighteen treatment combinations. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with two replications. The results revealed that maximum values of growth attributes in terms of plant height, number of leaves per plant, neck thickness, diameter of bulbs and quality attributes viz. total soluble solids, ascorbic acid content and volume of bulb recorded significantly with raised bed configuration (P2) at 15x15 cm spacing (S3) and 125:75:75 kg NPK/ha (F3). However, the minimum values of all these characters were noted with flatbed configuration (P1) at 15x7.5 cm spacing (S1) and 75:50:50 kg NPK/ha (F1).
