    Bulbs are short stems with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy. The document discusses onion and garlic production technologies. Onions thrive under cool temperatures and require well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 5.8-6.5. Garlic also does best in cool seasons with long days and soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Both crops require similar fertilization, irrigation, weeding, and are harvested when their tops begin to dry up. Onion yields average 25-30 tons per hectare while garlic yields range between 4,000-10,000 kilograms per hectare.

    A bulb is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases.The leaves often function as food storage organs during dormancy.

    Onion Allium cepa L.


    Family: Amaryllidaceae Origin: Afghanistan, India and nearby countries. Cultivated and used as food in history. Flavour: pungent smell is due to volatile oil. Mature bulb contains starch, sugars, proteins & vit A, B and C Varieties: Ghotki, Phulkara, Desi Red, Pindi Red, Local White, etc.

    Production technology
    Climate: Cool season vegetable. High temperature required for bulb formation. Soil: Well drained, fertile, rich in hummus Best at pH 5.8-6.5 Manures and fertilizers: FYM @ 40-50t/ha_ preparation 120-60-60 kg/ha NPK Planting: Seedlings raised: June-September, Transplanted: July- October Ridge sowing. PxP distance 10-15cm Seed rate for nursery: 8-10kg/ha

    Irrigation: Immediately before transplanting. Subsequent irrigations should be given at 7-10 days interval Hoeing & Weeding: 3-4 hoeing are necessary. Harvesting & Curing: After 50 percent of the crop showing neck fall, the onions may be lifted out of the soil 3-4 days of warm and dry weather for field curing Yield: 25-30 t/ha

    Garlic Allium sativum L.


    Family: Alliaceae Origin: Southern Europe & Western Asia Compound bulb containing 10-16 cloves. Higher nutritive value than other bulb crops. Vast medicinal uses Contains calcium, phosphorous & vit C. Varieties: Faisalabad White, Lehsen Gulabi, Lehsen purple are common.

    Production technology
    Climate: Cool season vegetable. Long days are suitable for good quality of cloves Soil: Well drained, fertile, loamy soils Best at pH 6.0-7.0 Manures and fertilizers: Same as for onions Nitrogen requirement: 125-150 kg/ha Planting: In September- November in plains Cloves planted singly 400-500 kg/ha is sufficient.

    Irrigation: At 8 days intervals during vegetative growth Every 10-15 days during maturation. Hoeing & Weeding: 2-3 weedings at one month interval. Hoeing the crop just before the formation of bulbs Harvesting & Curing: Ready for harvesting when its tops turn yellowish or brownish and show signs of drying up and bend over. Field drying for a week or more Yield: 4000 10000 kg/ha
