Abstract

The results of research into the technology of drip irrigation for common onion in Nepal have been presented. The estimation of the influence of plant moisture and nutrition levels on yield and quality of onion has been performed. High efficiency of onion cultivation is revealed at the moisture level of 90–80–70% HB across interphase periods under the effect of the use of mineral fertilizers in combination with micro-fertilizers and a microbiological preparation.
