Solan (HP): Onion cultivation, a profitable venture for Himachal growers #Gallery

Solan: Kharif onion crop at an agricultural field in Himachal Pradesh's Solan. Onion crop is harvested only once a year in Himachal Pradesh while at the same time farmers in Maharashtra have three crops during the same period. This has made the state heavily dependent upon other states for meeting the requirement of onion, often causing the prices to go beyond the reach of common people. Taking note of this, scientists of the Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry in Nauni near here worked towards an appropriate alternative -- the cultivation of kharif onion.
