Various sizes of mother onion bulbs (50, 100, 150 and 200 g/bulb) were evaluated for days to bolting, leaves number, seed stalks and seed yield per plant as well as per hectare at Horticultural Research Farm, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during 1989-90. Days to bolting were not affected with the size of the bulb. However, an increase in bulb size from 50-200 g/bulb significantly improved leaves and seed stalk number from 16.25-20.00 and 1.91-7.75/plant respectively. Likewise, average seed yield was also increased from 53.7-248.3 g/plant (49.73-229.97 kg/ha) with the increase in the size of onion bulb.
