Project Background
The ultimate objective of this project was to improve yield, quality and returns of onions being grown on sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) systems. This project determined the effect of sprinkling on germination and emergence of seeded onions with and without AgriBlend (HYDROGEL and Zeolite) and the effect that improved germination and emergence has on the yield, quality and returns from these onions.
