Influência da distância entre linhas no rendimento da cebola

Abstract

In the experimental field of the Faculty of Agronomy and Forestry Engineering, an experiment was carried out with the red Creole variety onion (Alliun cepa L.), on a sandy soil, sowing on March 8, 1992 and harvesting 127 days after sowing. A randomized complete block design with four replications and five treatments was used, the experimental variants were: distance between rows of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm combining a constant distance of 10 cm between plants on yield. The highest density presented a smaller number of leaves, with a larger number of leaves being presented by the treatments with lower density. The onset of bulb formation appeared 73 days after transplantation. The highest yields were 3236 kg/ha of bulbs, obtained with the smallest distance treatment, 20 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants.
