Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a vegetable that is widely consumed due to its flaouring and healthpromoting properties. A randomized complete block factorial experiment was carried out in Payame Noor University, Marivan center, in order to study the effects of rates of nitrogen, phosphorus and sheep manure on the yield and quality of onion. The first factor consisted of two sheep manure levels (0 an...

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...

This study was conducted to assess the effect of some growth enhancers as dietary onion & garlic (Allium sativum) and vitamin E supplementation with water on the meat quality parameters of broiler chicken. A total of 150 chicks were divided into 3 groups, 50 birds per treatment. The first group was fed control diet, the second group fed control diet supplemented with onion 2% and garlic 2% and ...

Allium cepa (onion) is a diploid plant with one of the largest nuclear genomes among all diploids. Onion is an example of an under-researched crop which has a complex heterozygous genome. There are no allergenic proteins and genomic data available for onions. This study was conducted to establish a transcriptome catalogue of onion bulb that will enable us to study onion related genes involved i...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In China, excessive fertilization has resulted in phosphorus (P) accumulation in most greenhouse soils. Intercropping can improve the efficiency of nutrient utilization in crop production. In this study, pot experiments were performed to investigate the effects of intercropping with potato onion (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum G. Don) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seed...

This experiment was carried out to investigate effects of onion extract on growth performance, meat quality and blood profiles of White mini broilers. Total of 600 one-d-old male White mini broiler chicks were divided into four groups and fed control diets (non-medicated commercial diet or antibiotics medicated) or experimental diets (non-medicated diets containing 0.3% or 0.5% onion extract) f...

The effect of fully ventilated storage structure on shelf-life and quality onion genotypes was studied at CCS, Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. experiment conducted in a single factor with one level three replications. lowest physiological weight losses % recorded (7.19%) 30 days (14.81%) 120 Hisar onion-4 there no seen sprouting up to 60 all the after then start gradually bulbs storage....

This study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary onion flesh or onion peel on lipid peroxides and DNA damage in aged rats. Sprague Dawley male rats (n=40, 16 mo old) were blocked into five groups and raised for 3 mo with either an onion-free control diet or onion diets (Allium cepa L., intermediate-day variety) containing either 5% (w/w) powdered dried onion flesh, 5% (w/w) powdere...

In this study, we investigated the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of fermented vinegar using onion black onion. When were in alcohol for 8 days, content both (OV) (BV) increased, whereas their sugar decreased. The was higher OV than that BV. acetic acid 20 pH BV decreased, total acidity increased. After fermentation, main free sugars fructose glucose, they OV. major or...
