FARM QUERY

Bumper yield from onion

I plan to grow onions in my two acres and would like to know whether there are any natural methods to increase the yield?

Narasimha Reddy

Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh

Mr. Madhavrao Shankarrao Patil from Maharashtra grows carrot along with his onion crops to increase the yield. In order to get a bumper yield from onion he sows the onion seeds along with carrot. Both the species flower at the same time and thus attract more pollinators than single planting. This leads to increased production for both the species according to him. For more details you can contact Mr. Madhavrao Shankarrao Patil, Jalgaon district, Maharashtra, phone: 02596-278423.
