A field trial was conducted for consecutive two years to determine the growth and yielding behaviour of onion in response to essential nutrients (NPK) during 1986-87 and 1987-88 at Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The results described that onion response for plant height bulb diameter, single bulb weight and total marketable bulb yield, to different NPK doses was remarkably significant during both the years. However, NPK dose 90-60-80 kg recorded significantly maximum marketable bulb yield as compared to rest treatments. Onion planted on ridges proved to be better yielding compared to flat planting. It is advisable that for harvesting good marketable bulb yield in onion (Phulkara), the crop should be planted on ridges and fertilized with 90-60- 80 kg/ha NPR fertilizers.
