Pink Onion - Shivtej/Pusa Riddhi

Pink Onion - Shivtej/Pusa Riddhi is a pink onion variety suited to multiple growing seasons, including Kharif, Summer, Rabi, and Late Rabi. For one acre, approximately 2.5–3 kg seed is recommended, with the nursery prepared over about 5–6 guntha. The seedlings should be transplanted within approximately 45 days, followed by irrigation according to crop requirements for around 80–90 days after transplanting. The crop is expected to reach harvest maturity in about 100–120 days after planting. The recommended practice is to raise seedlings in a nursery rather than broadcast the seed directly, while avoiding excessive irrigation and chemical fertilizer. The packet information also states that the seed meets the minimum germination and purity standards under the Seed Act 1966 and that the seed is treated with Thiram.
