RESEARCH ON WATER CONSUMPTION FOR ONION GROWING IN PRE-MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF THE APUSENI MOUNTAINS

Abstract

Water consumption in onion growing was determined for different types of irrigation: 50% of AHC (Active Humidity Coefficient), 70% of AHC and no irrigation just organic fertilization or organic and mineral fertilization. Research was carried out in 2008 and 2009 using the direct method of determining the amount of water in the soil (the water balance).
