Abstract: An experiment was carried out at Saidapur Farm, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the effect of seed enhancement techniques on field performance of onion. Growth and yield parameters were significantly influenced between the seed lots and seed enhancement techniques. Fresh seed lot (L1) recorded significantly higher growth and yield characters as compared to old seed lot (L2). While encrusting with Thiram: Genius coat (1:1.2) (T4) recorded significantly higher growth and yield characters viz., field emergence (86%), equatorial diameter (5.43 cm), polar diameter (5.03 cm ), weight of bulb (347 g ), bulb yield per plant(74 g ) and bulb yield per hectare (23.61 t) compared to control recorded (78.10%,4.72 cm, 4.33 cm, 300.33 g,66.95 g,19.74 t) respectively. Therefore, encrusting with Thiram: Genius coat (T4) (1:1.2) can be used in order to enhance field performance of onion var. Bhima Super.
