DOGROF Organic Formulations: Onion Crop Health and Yield Field Trial Data

A three-year field trial (2021-2023) conducted at ICAR-Directorate of Onion and Garlic Research in Pune, India, evaluated four organic formulations for managing anthracnose-twister and Stemphylium blight in onion. The dataset likely contains measurements of plant growth, disease severity, yield, and economic metrics comparing the formulations across Kharif and Rabi seasons. It was authored by Ram Dutta and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of different organic formulations for disease suppression based on reported severity reduction percentages.
• Analyze the relationship between microbial composition of formulations and plant growth promotion based on reported colony-forming unit counts.
• Evaluate the economic feasibility of organic treatments based on the incremental cost-benefit ratio (ICBR) data.
• Investigate correlations between micronutrient content in formulations and crop performance metrics like yield and plant height.

Strengths

• Data is based on a three-year field trial (2021-2023), providing multi-season validation.
• Reports specific quantitative results, including a 34.23% yield increase in Kharif season and disease severity reductions of 49.62% and 48.09%.
• Includes detailed microbial profiling (e.g., 3×10^8 cfu/mL bacteria) and nutrient analysis for the formulations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (495.2 KB), indicating limited scope.
