Effect of sulphur application in onion (Allium cepa L.)

چکیده
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur application on growth, yield and quality of onion at Horticulture Farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan. The treatments consisted of six incremental doses of sulphur application (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 kg ha-1) and no sulphur application (control, 0 kg S ha-1). Treatments were arranged in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Yield, yield attributes and most of the other traits of onion (Agrifound Dark Red) response favourably to the sulphur application in a range of 40 to 60 kg ha-1. Graded level of sulphur application linearly increased the yield up to 50 kg ha-1 with bulb yield of 35.5 tonnes. Maximum pyruvic acid content in onion bulbs was noticed with sulphur application at 40 and 50 kg ha-1. However, application of sulphur did not affect number of scales and TSS content of onion bulb.

Variation in economically and ecologically important traits in onion plant organs during reproductive development
The spatial distribution of organosulphur compounds throughout the onion ( Allium cepa L.) plant body during reproduction is of ecological and horticultural interest. These secondary metabolites are associated with both pest resistance and many of the vegetable’s culinary and medicinal properties, including the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. Inhibition of platelet aggregation can be o...
متن کاملAntispasmodic Activity of Onion (Allium cepa L.) Peel Extract on Rat Ileum
Onion (Allium cepa) bulb from Liliaceae has antioxidant, spasmolytic and antihypertensive activities. The aim of present study was to investigate the antispasmodic effect of onion peel on rat ileum contractility. Onion peel powder was extracted by maceration in 70% alcohol for 72 h. A terminal portion of ileum from male Wistar rat was dissected and its contractions were recorded isotonically in...
متن کاملImpact of pedospheric and atmospheric sulphur nutrition on sulphur metabolism of Allium cepa L., a species with a potential sink capacity for secondary sulphur compounds.
Onion (Allium cepa L.) was able to use atmospheric H(2)S as sole sulphur source for growth. The foliarly absorbed H(2)S was rapidly metabolized into water-soluble, non-protein thiol compounds, including cysteine, and subsequently into other sulphur compounds in the shoots. In H(2)S-exposed plants, the accumulation of sulphur compounds in the shoots was nearly linear with the concentration (0.15...

Abstract In this study ameliorative effects of ascorbic acid (0.5 mM) on onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Red Azarshahr) under copper stress (Cu: 6.5 μM) were studied. Fresh weights of leaves and roots were reduced in seven week old plants under excess copper condition. Cu stress also reduced membrane stability index in leaves. There was a considerable increase in H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation i...
