Abstract: The present investigation on study of “Evaluation of different onion varieties and genotypes” was carried out during rabi season in the year 2018-2019. The study was under taken on 23 varieties and genotypes of onion using randomized block design with three replications. The variety and genotypes for growth, yield and quality parameters. Among these maximum plant heights was recorded in MLO-1-1 (80.203 cm) whereas minimum plant height was recorded in AKON-3 (66.27 cm). Maximum number of leaves was recorded in AKON-3 (9.1), whereas the minimum number of leaves was recorded in AKON-14 (6.4). Maximum leaf length was recorded in MLO-1-1 (69.97 cm) and minimum was recorded AKON-2 (57.49 cm). Maximum leaf area was recorded in MLO-1-1 (309.867 cm²) and minimum was recorded in AKON-2 (280.88 cm²). Neck thickness maximum was recorded in MLO-4 (31.30 cm), whereas minimum was recorded in Arka kirtiman (1.04 cm). Maximum bulb diameter was recorded in AKON-4 (5.34 cm) and minimum was recorded AKON-14 (3.16 cm). Maximum bulb weight was recorded in AKON-3 (85.74 g) and minimum was recorded in AKON-11 (63.21 g). Maximum yield per plot was recorded in AKON-3 (7.776 kg), whereas minimum was recorded in AKON-14 (2.597 kg). Maximum TSS content was recorded in Akola safed (14.22^oB) and minimum was recorded in Arka kirtiman (10.92 ^oB). Maximum yield per hectare was recorded in AKON-3 (28.8 tonnes) and minimum was recorded in AKON-14 (9.623 tonnes).
