Paper Summary

Kharif onion production can be improved by using poultry manure, followed by FYM, vermicompost, and pig manure. Adding Azotobacter chroococcum to organic manures did not increase bulb yield. Poultry manure had the highest nutrient uptake, followed by FYM. If organic manures already have enough microbes, adding more may not be necessary.
