Effect of organic sources of plant nutrients on yield, quality and nutrient uptake in onion

Abstract

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important commercial crop grown worldwide. Now-a-days organically grown vegetables have more consumer acceptance and there is increasing demand of organically grown products. Organic farming is one among the broad spectrum of production methods that are supportive of the environment. Organic production systems are based on specific standards precisely formulated for food production and aim at achieving agro-eco systems, which are socially and ecologically sustainable. It is based on minimizing the use of external inputs through use of onfarm research efficiently compared to conventional farming.
