摘要：The demonstration was conducted at Abergelle Agricultural Research Centre at agbe irrigation scheme in 2015 cropping seasons. It was carried out at farmers’ land with one improved variety (bobay red) Vs local cultivar with uniform management practice were used to compare. The parameter recorded from this action are bulb yield (qt/ha) and maturity date. In this demonstration the highest yield was recoded from the improved variety bombay red (285.7ql/ha) but local with equal management practice gives low yield(228.6ql/ha) and in terms of maturity also bombay red has early mature (121) days but local takes (135) days to mature. At this movement, farmers were taking knowledge about the variety and improved management practice. Just they saw the performance of these onion varieties in yield production and they understand that they can enhance their income through onion production. Bombay red was the best performing variety rather than local. Therefore, bombay red variety will be recommended to popularized to potential for onion and have the same agro ecology. Key words : Onion variety, Yield and Maturity Date
