In order to study the effects of rate and time of N and K fertilizers application on seed yield of onion (Allium cepa L. CV. Texas Early Grano 502), a factorial experiment based on RCBD with 4 replications was conducted at Kabootar Abad Research Station of Isfahan during two years (2000-2002 growing seasons). The first factor was three rates of N and K including: a1-N and K recommended (on the base of soil test), a2-35% more than recommended, a3-35% less than recommended and the second factor was six split application types of N and K on the base of plant growth stages, thus: b1- N applied, 1⁄2 at the planting time and 1⁄2 at the beginning of bolting and K applied at the planting time, b2- N and K applied, 1⁄2 at the planting time and 1⁄2 at the beginning of bolting, b3- N applied,at the beginning of bolting,at the pollination andat the grain filling and K applied at the planting time, b4- N applied, 1⁄4 at the planting time, 1⁄4 at the beginning of bolting, 1⁄4 at the middle of bolting and 1⁄4 at the grain filling and K applied, 1⁄2 at the planting time and 1⁄2 at the beginning of bolting, b5- N applied,at the beginning of bolting andat the grain filling and K applied at the planting time and b6- N applied,at the beginning of bolting andat the grain filling and K applied, 1⁄2 at the planting time and 1⁄2 at the beginning of bolting. Results showed that the seed yield (1018.3kg/ha) and capsules/umbel and seeds/capsule in a1 treatment were significantly higher than a2 and a3. Comparison of split application treatments showed that the seed yield (1120kg/ha), umbels/m2 and capsules/umbel in b4 treatment were significantly higher than the others. The levels of N and K fertilizers didnot have significant effects on seed germination percent and rate and comparison of split application treatments showed decreasing the seed germination percent in b3 treatment.
