Effects of Bulb Source, Sowing Date and Nitrogen on Seed Yield of
White Dehydration Onion in the Northern Sudan
Gaffer H. Mohamed ali and Abdalla H. Nourai
Abstract:
Experiments over three seasons at Hudebia Research Station, Northern
Region, Sudan evaluated the effects of bulb source, sowing date and
nitrogen nutrition on seed yield of the white dehydration onion cv. Nasi.
The bulb sources used were whole bulbs and summer multiplied bulbs
(splits obtained by the vegetative propagation of bulbs that produced
seeds in the preceding winter). Whole bulbs consistently gave higher
seed yields than summer multiplied bulbs. The optimum planting dates
were mid-October to mid-November. Nitrogen fertilization appreciably
increased onion seed yield in two years out of three.
