Pest and disease infestation
Due to proper care (weeding, irrigation, drainage etc.), there was no pest infestation at any stage of the crop’s life cycle. However, plot 1 and 2
were infested with Leaf blight and Purple blotch disease respectively during vegetative stage. As the infestation was of minimum level, no
fungicide was used.
Cost- Benefit Analysis
The research revealed that Onion would be a profitable crop in this area. The experimental cultivation was conducted in small scale. Large scale
cultivation would reduce the production cost, increasing the net profit.
