Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Influence of exogenous application of Sulphur, Gibberellic acid and NAA on yield and quality of Kharif onion (Allium cepa L.) c.v N - 53†was carried out during kharif 2016 – 17 (first year), 2017 – 18 (second year) and in pooled at the Experimental field RVSKVV, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Rajgarh (M.P.) with 27 treatment combinations of three levels of sulphur i.e. 0, 20 and 40 kgha-1, three levels of Gibberellic acid viz., 0, 50 and 100 ppm and three levels of NAA i.e. 0, 50 and 100 ppm. Results revealed that the application of 40 kg S ha-1 recorded significantly maximum quality marketable bulb percent (97.24), moisture content (87.26)percent, TSS (13.46) percent, fresh weight of bulb (93.69) and bulb yield (242.16) q per hactare whereas, splitted bulb percent was noted minimum in this treatment as compared to control. Foliar application of GA3 @ 50ppm (G1) and NAA @ 100 PPM (N2) exhibited significantly highest marketable bulb per cent, moisture content percent, TSS percent,fresh weight of bulb and bulb yield per hectare while, splitted bulb percent was noted minimum in this treatment as compared to control. Interaction effect was also observed same trend. The cost benefit ratio 1: 3.67 was found maximum with the application of S 40 Kg/ha+ GA3 50 ppm + NAA100 ppm (S2G1N2) it also recorded maximum bulb yield of 290.18 q ha-1 and net return of Rs 2,11,139 ha-1 in onion variety N - 53. From the study it can be concluded that various yield and quality and parameters were improved with the application of S 40 Kg/ha+ GA3 50 ppm + NAA 100ppm and it was economically viable and treatment.
