Abstract: An attempt has been made to collect available literature on performance of onion in relation to different agro techniques adopted in light of present study to support the findings. Onion is one of the most important spice crops of the world. The production of onion is influenced by many factors, such as, varieties, transplant ages and transplant densities. Among them varieties, transplant ages and spacing are one of the most important factors for production of onion. Onion varieties respond differently to day length and photoperiods in a particulate environmental condition. Proper age of seedling can produce better yield of bulb (Thomson and Kelly, 1957, Maurya et al., 1997 and Singh and Chaure, 1999). Kanton et al. (2002) found that maximum yield was produced from transplants seedlings that were of 20 to 40 days old and significantly 40 days old transplant seedling produced heaviest bulbs. Higher yield and better control over bulb size could be obtained if plants are grown at optimum density. Spacing influences the plant growth, size of bulbs, yields as well as the quality of the onion bulb (Badruddin and Haque, 1977).
