Twelve cultivars of common onion evaluated over two years for their seed production potential recorded maximum seed yield from the variety Punjab Red Round (11.67 q/ha) followed by Agrifound Light Red (11.17 q/ha), Nasik Red (10.12 q/ha), Pusa Red (10.05 q/ha), Arka Kalyan (9.83 q/ha) and N 2-4-1 (9.72 q/ha). The higher seed yieldin these cultivars was related to higher number of seed stalks/plant, taller and wider umbels, more number of flowers/unbel and heavier seeds.
