Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation depths applied by drip system and nitrogen fertilization levels that promote higher yield and water use efficiency in onion (Allium cepa L.). The treatments consisted of five irrigation depths (50; 75; 100; 125; 150% of crop evapotranspiration), applied by drip system, combined with five nitrogen fertilization rates (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha-1), in a 5 x 5 factorial scheme, in a randomized block experimental design, with four replicates. Irrigation depths estimated at 120.2% and 77.81% of crop evapotranspiration promoted higher yield and water use efficiency for total yield of onion bulbs, respectively. Nitrogen dose of 160 kg ha-1 promoted maximum total yield and water use efficiency.
