Summary

In NPK experiments over three seasons additional N gave highly significant increases in total yield, average bulb size and doubles, and decreased bolting. P application gave similar results but responses to K were negligible. The increases in onion yield due to N and P fertilization were accompanied by significant increases in the N and P contents of the leaves.
