AB - The onion is an important crop because of its nutritional and economic benefits. The overuse of artificial fertilizers and the soil's deterioration make it challenging to increase onion output and quality sustainably. One potential strategy to improve crop yields and soil health is to combine biofertilizers with inorganic nutrients. The impact of mineral nutrients and biofertilizers on onion growth, yield, and quality parameters is investigated in this research.  All five treatments recommended dosage of fertilizer (RDF), biofertilizer alone, and biofertilizer with RDF and foliar micronutrient spray—were evaluated in field experiments using a randomized block design. Measurements were taken on growth metrics, leaf count, bulb diameter, total soluble solids, and pyruvic acid content, among other yield and quality factors.  When compared to the control group, treatments alone and the combination of biofertilizers and inorganic nutrients, plant development, yield, and quality were all markedly improved.  Research shows that using biofertilizers and mineral nutrients together is the best way to grow onions eventually since it boosts crop yields, soil health, and nutrient absorption.
