To fortify nutrients depleting loam being waste under murkiness and use it for enhancing anticancer food rationing in human body two onion (Alium cepa) cultivars i.e. Cv.1 and Cv.2 (locally called “imported and 144” respectively) were experienced. Fertilizers were applied @ 50 kg of NH4 (SO4)2 and 25 kg of MOP (muriate of potash) per acre-1 with first irrigation. Growth parameters were recorded under un-shaded, partially and fully-shaded canopies of Eugenia trees. Maximum weights (162±9 g), horizontal diameters (7.83±0.77 cm), circumferences (24.20±2.4 cm) and number of leaves per plant (15±0.25) of onion bulbs were recorded in Cv.1 under shaded conditions followed by Cv.2 (weight 135±7 g, 7.82±1.01 cm, 22.5±2.2 cm, 14±0.92 respectively). Similarly, maximum yield of bulbs (small and medium sized) were 18±0.11 and 8.25±0.55 ton ha-1 in Cv.1. under un-shaded and 17±0.54 and 8.25±0.55 ton ha-1 under partially-shaded conditions, while, the lowest (6±0.36 ton ha-1) observed in large sized bulbs under fully-shaded conditions. More sprouting (40±2.1%) was observed under un- shaded whereas least (18±3.5%) under partially-shaded conditions in Cv.1. The response of both the cultivars were beneficially under such environment, however Cv.1 was better. It was inferred from the result that onion which is the excellent source of moderate level of anticancer diet can be obtained on these depleted soil by adding essential macronutrients.
