The field experiment of study the "Effect of fertility levels on growth, yield and quality of Kharif onion" was conducted at Horticulture farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner during Kharif 2001 and 2002. The experiment comprising 8 fertility levels (Control, 75%, 100% and 125%) recommended dose of NPK vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 with 25 per cent, 50 per cent and 75 per cent recommended dose of NPK. The application of 50 per cent recommended dose of NPK + vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 significantly improved the plant height, number of leaves at harvest, equatorial diameter thickness of scale, volume of bulb, yield and TSS, vitamin "C" and allyl propyl disulphide content.
