Abstract
Field trial was conducted at Kebbi Agricultural and Rural Development
Fadama Farm Bunza, Kebbi State (Latitude 120001 and
Longitude 040001E and 177 m above sea level) during
2012/2013 dry season to study the effect of irrigation interval and nitrogen
rates on growth and bulb yield of onion. The treatments consisted of four of
irrigation intervals (3, 5, 7 and 9 days) and four levels of nitrogen rate (0,
50, 100 and 150 kgNha-1). The treatments were factorially combined
and laid out in a randomized complete block design, replicated three times.
Results obtained indicated that, 3 days irrigation interval consistently had
the highest number of leaves, bulb weight, bulb diameter and bulb yield. While,
the highest mean values for growth and yield components were recorded in plot
treated with Nitrogen at 100 kgNha-1 and the control had the least
mean values. In conclusion the application of 100 kgNha-1 along with
days irrigation interval is suitable for onion production in the study area.
