Abstract: The present study was conducted to find out the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) on yield of onion (Allium cepa L.) under North Gujarat Condition in the year 2016-17 during rabi season at College of Horticulture, S.D. Agricultural University, Jagudan, Gujarat. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and total thirteen treatments were evaluated viz., T1: 100% RDF (100:50:50 kg NPK/ha + 20 tonne FYM/ha); T2: 25% RDN through FYM + 75% N through chemical fertilizer; T3: 50% RDN through FYM + 50% N through chemical fertilizer; T4: 75% RDN through FYM + 25% N through chemical fertilizer; T5: 25% RDN through vermicompost + 75% N through chemical fertilizer; T6: 50% RDN through vermicompost + 50% N through chemical fertilizer; T7: 75% RDN through vermicompost + 25% N through chemical fertilizer; T8: 25% RDN through poultry manure + 75% N through chemical fertilizer; T9: 50% RDN through poultry manure + 50% N through chemical fertilizer; T10: 75% RDN through poultry manure + 25% N through chemical fertilizer; T11: 50% RDN through neem cake + 50% N through chemical fertilizer; T12: 50% RDN through neem cake + 50% N through chemical fertilizer; T13: 75% RDN through neem cake + 25% N through chemical fertilizer. The treatments were evaluated with respect to growth parameters of onion. Among the various treatments, treatment T7 was recorded significantly superior to other treatments with respect to yield. The yield parameters viz., maximum weight of bulb (147.73 g), total bulb yield (12.53 kg/plot and 596.97 q/ha) and marketable yield (12.28 kg/plot and 585.07 q/ha) were recorded with treatment T7. Whereas, minimum unmarketable yield of bulb (0.12 kg/plot and 5.55 q/ha) was observed with the treatment T1.
