4. Executive Summary

The national scenario of onion and garlic production has shown a considerable increase during the past 40 years after the inception of NHRDF in 1977. The research and developmental programmes were initially started on onion and later on garlic was included in its mandate. In view of the vast export potential, the NHRDF has extended its research and development programmes on other export-oriented horticultural crops. During 2017-18, research and developmental work was carried out on onion, garlic, okra, frenchbean, tomato, chilli and cowpea, etc.

The studies were undertaken for evaluation of onion germplasm, varietal trials, promising lines of red and white onion, bolting behaviour, late kharif onion evaluation and exotic onion hybrids under the Plant Genetic Resources and Crop Improvement programme. The research trials were conducted on spacing, time and method of planting/transplanting, nutrition, weed control and effect of drip irrigation on onion seed production at different levels of soil moisture under Crop Production System Management. The management of soil-borne diseases, foliar diseases and effect of various fungicides, bio-control agents and plant products against onion pathogens and the trial on chemical control of onion thrips, use of organic products and entomopathogenic fungi for thrips management, integrated pest management, effect of intercropping of different crops, plant extracts, neem-based bio-pesticides, insect, growth regulators and environmental factors were conducted under Plant Health Management. Storage studies on onion and garlic in different experiments were undertaken under Post Harvest Management.

Similarly, studies in garlic were undertaken on evaluation of germplasm, varietal trials, advance lines of garlic under Plant Genetic Resources and Crop Improvement. Nutritional aspects were studied in Crop Production System Management and different promising lines of garlic were screened against diseases and pest under Plant Health Management. Storage of garlic was studied under Post Harvest Management.

The studies on pest control in okra under Plant Health Management and varietal trials on frenchbean under Plant Genetic Resources and Crop Improvement were undertaken during the period. Nutrient management and seed production of cowpea were taken under Crop Production System Management.

The NHRDF is arranging quality seed production and distribution of improved varieties as a part of developmental activities since its inception, with a view to serve the farming community closely. A total of 27,12,262 kg seeds of improved varieties of different vegetable and spice crops besides paddy, wheat, soybean and maize were distributed during the year 2017-18. The programmes under different projects, namely Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), Effect of Micronutrients on Quality andYield of Horticultural Crops, especially on onion and garlic under-ICAR-IIHR, CHAMAN (Coordinated Programme on Horticulture Assessment and Management using geoinformatics) and Krishi Vigyan Kendra have been successfully implemented during 2017-18.


The NHRDF conducted need-based and location specific research for 2-3 consecutive yearsand thereafter the trials exhibiting consistent results and similar trendswere discussed finallyin the Scientific Advisory Committee Meetingthoroughly twice in a year, before making the recommendations to the farmers and other stakeholders.Thefindingsofthetrialsconcludedat different Regional Research Stations of NHRDF during kharif 2017 at Nashik and Karnal are given here under in brief:

Onion z To assess the growth of onion and its

development under different environments and relationship between assimilatory apparatus and dry matter production, the experiment conducted during kharif, 2016 and 2017 revealed that the maximum leaf area and leaf area index were recorded in 30th August transplanted crop at 100 DAT, the maximum plant height and absolute growth rate were also recorded at 100 DAT in 30th July transplanted crop. Maximum relative growth rate occurred at 40 DAT in 30th August transplanted crop and net assimilation rate has taken place at 20 DAT in 15th August transplanted crop as against to other dates of transplanting.

z The trial “Comparative studies of onion sets and seedlings performance as affected by sowing dates under Zone- II” conducted on onion variety Agrifound Dark Red during kharif 2016 and 2017 at RRS, Karnal revealed that 30th August was the best date for planting and transplanting through onion sets and seedlings, respectively in terms of highest plantgrowth,bulbsize,yieldandcost:benefit

ratio. Transplanting through sets gave early maturity, highest yield with highest cost: benefitratio.

z The study conducted for three consecutive years on onion variety NHRDF Red-2, to assess the impact of different dates of transplanting with different levels of fertigation on storage performance during rabi 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at RRS, Nashik revealed that 15th December transplanted crop with fertigation of 70% RDF (NPK through drip in 8 splits) i.e. 70:35:35 performed better in terms of lowest sprouting loss, rotting loss, PLWandtotallossatfivemonthsafterstorageand the results were found at par with 15th December transplanted crop with fertigation of 100% RDF (NPK through drip in 8 splits) i.e. 100:50:50.

Garlic z The storage studies conducted on garlic

variety Yamuna Safed-3 (G-282) during rabi, 2015-16 and rabi, 2016-17 revealed that, after five months storage period at Nashik,the treatment foliar application of ferrous sulphate @ 3 g/l at 30, 60 and 90 DAP performed better in terms of lowest PLW and total losses, and it was at par with all the treatments except control. At Karnal, after five months storage period, the treatmentfoliar application of zinc sulphate @ 3g/l at 30, 60 and 90 DAP performed better in terms of lowest losses due to PLW and total losses and it was at par with foliar application of IIHR vegetable special (micronutrient mixture) @ 5 g/l at 30, 60 and 90 DAP, and foliar application of ferrous sulphate @ 3 g/l at 30, 60 and 90 DAP.

9. Agricultural Economics

Cost of ProductionThe NHRDF made all necessary arrangements to survey the cost of production of onion bulb and seed crops in important and major onion-growing pockets of the country.

The cost of production of common kharif onion varied from Rs. 519 to 986/q and that of rabi onion from Rs. 445 to 1003/kg depending upon the labour wages, cost of seed / planting material, other inputs and yield of onion (Annexure I, Table 2 & 3).

z The cost of production of common onion seed varied from Rs.276 to 442/kg in different varieties depending upon the inputs, labour and seed yield. The cost of production of Agrifound Rose onion seed was Rs.304/kg (Annexure I, Table-1).

z The cost of production of kharif onion produced by locally grown sets (bulblets) in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu was Rs. 1183/q, while it was Rs. 986/q for crop raised by transplanting seedlings (Annexure I, Table 2).

z The cost of production of garlic ranged from Rs. 1961 to 2787/q depending upon the varieties, labour wages, input cost, and yield at different places. The details of cost of production of garlic are given in Annexure I (Table 4).

Area and Production of Onion, Garlic and PotatoThe production of potato (1%), onion (0.98%) and garlic crop (1.01%) is more as compared to

2016-17. The state-wise area, production and productivity of onion, garlic and potato during 2017-18 are given in Annexure II (Tables 1, 2 and 3).

Export of Onion, Garlic and PotatoDuring 2017-18 the export has been made free and no NOC required for export, however, MEP is to be followed during onion export. Garlic and potato were exported to different countries under open general license (OGL). The perusal of the data obtained from NAFED, New Delhi and DGCI&S, Kolkata, indicates that export of onion during 2017-18 was 213. mainly to Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and Gulf 54 lakh metric tonnes which was about 38 % less than previous year (2016-17). The onion was exported to countries named in (Annexure III, Table 1).

The information obtained from DGCI &S, Kolkata, revealed that this year export of garlic was 26527.72 metric tonnes, which is 40% more than the previous year’s export. Garlic was exported mainly to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Netherlands, Mauritius, UK, Germany and UAE (Annexure III, Table-2).

The potato was exported mainly to Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Maldives and Malaysia. The export of potato in this year was 307409.60 metric tonnes which is about 20% more than the previous year’s. The month-wise export of onion, garlic and potato is given in Annexure III (Table-3).


10. Projects Implemented
