Yield Characteristics and Agronomy
Phulkara produces medium-to-large sized bulbs with solid flesh and tight outer scales, reducing peeling losses and storage rot. The variety exhibits high vigor, adapting well to salinity and winter frost conditions across Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan. Under recommended agronomic practices, it delivers high yield per acre.
Sowing and Cultivation Protocol
Sow seeds in a well-pulverized nursery bed during October-November. Keep soil moist through light daily watering. Transplant the seedlings to ridges or flat beds in January when they reach pencil thickness. Maintain proper plant distance to ensure uniform bulb growth. Restrict nitrogen application as bulbs mature to prevent storage issues.
