Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake of onion [Allium cepa (L.)] Varieties.” was carried out during two consecutive seasons of 2021-22 and 2022-23 the experiment was conducted at fields of university, Bhopal (M.P.). This experiment has been conducted in 12 treatments and two verities and their 24 combinations, with three replications. The experiment has formed under Factorial Randomized Design. In the experiment the 12 treatments of integrated nutrient management such as F₁-PM (2 t/ha), F₂-FYM (6 t/ha), F₃-VC (5 t/ha), F₄-50% RDF, F₅-50% RDF + PM, F₆-50% RDF + FYM, F₇-50% RDF + VC, F₈-75% RDF, F₉-75% RDF + PM, F₁₀-75% RDF + FYM, F₁₁-75% RDF + VC and F₁₂-100% RDF, Two varieties are used in the experiments such as V1 (Nasik Red) and V2 (Agrifound Dark Red). The observations to be recorded under the experiments are Morphological parameters like Plant height (cm) at 30 and 60 DAT, Length of leaf (cm) at 30 and 60 DAT, Number of leaves per plant at 30 and 60 DAT and Neck diameter of bulb (cm) at 30 and 60 DAT (cm). Yield-attributing parameters like Fresh weight of bulb (g), Dry weight of bulb (g) and Yield per hectare (q), Quality parameters Total soluble solids (TSS). The result revealed that the maximum Plant height at 30 and 60 DAT, Length of leaf at 30 and 60 DAT, Number of leaves per plant at 30 and 60 DAT and Neck diameter of bulb, Fresh weight of bulb, Dry weight of bulb and Yield per hectare, Total soluble solids (Brix) was found maximum under the variety V2 Agrifound Dark Red, and fertilizers application treatments F₁₂-100% RDF, while the minimum was observed under the treatments control.
