Evaluation of Poultry Litter and Organic Fertilizer Rate and Source for Production of Organic Short-day Onions

In a 3-year study of poultry litter applications on short-day onion (Allium cepa) production, where rates ranged from 0 to 10 tons/acre, there was an increasing linear effect on total onion yield. Jumbo (3 inches diameter) onion yield did not differ with increasing poultry application rates, while m...
