The present investigations entitled “Effect of levels of spacing and varieties on growth of onion (Allium cepa L)” were carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm-2, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) during the rabi season of November 2018 to April 2019. Three different spacing [15×10 cm(S1), 15×15cm (S2) and 15×20cm(S3)] and three varieties [NHRDF-2(V1), Agrifound Dark Red (V2) and Agrifound Light Red (V3)] was taken for study. The layout of experimental field was laid down in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications and nine different treatment combination viz. T1 (S1 V1), T2 (S2 V1),T3(S3 V1), T4(S1 V2), T5(S2 V2), T6(S3 V2), T7(S1 V3), T8(S2 V3) and T9(S3 V3). The growth characters like plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant and neck diameter (cm) are recorded periodically on 30, 60, 90 and 120days after transplanting. The study shows that the combined application of 15×15cm (S2) spacing with variety Agrifound Dark Red(V2) was best under Lucknow condition followed by 15×10 cm(S1) spacing with variety NHRDF-2(V1) and 15×20cm(S3) spacing with variety Agrifound Light Red (V3).
