  The objective of this study was, to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation on yield and water productivity (WP) of onion crop grown under Ambo condition. Field experiment was conducted at Ambo Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia. The treatments consisted of nine different treatments replicated three times arranged in RCBD. The experiment involved two categories of deficit with different timings: 1) skipping of irrigation during one particular phenological stage and application of 75% ETc during the rest of the growing stages and 2) no watering during specific phenological stage and watering with 50% ETc during the remaining stages. Amount of water applied was monitored using standard Parshall flume. The highest total onion yield (46.7t/ha) was obtained from full irrigated treatment, which was not statically different from treatments that were not irrigated during initial grow.. Read More»
