Onions - a valuable vegetable. Despite the significant production volumes of this crop in our country (800 thousand tons),
they do not fully satisfy the needs of the market. An effective method of increasing the production of vegetables is the
variety renewal. But the introduction of new varieties in the production is impossible without the presence of seeds. An
effective method of increasing the yield of seeds is fertilizers. Thanks to their use, crop yields can be increased by 30 - 50%.
The aim of the research was to study the effect of doses and methods of fertilizer application on the growth, development
and productivity of seed plants, yield and seed quality of onion variety Lyubchik against the background of irrigation with
sprinkling in the conditions of the northern Steppe of Ukraine. Bookmark and conduct field and laboratory experiments
conducted in accordance with existing generally accepted and standardized methods. According to the results of biometric
observations, it was found that the use of fertilizers provided an increase in the number and height of leaves during the
phase of the beginning of the regroto control up to 10.7 pcs. on the standard (N90P135K90) and 11.5 pcs. when making N30P45K30 + Reakom 2×3 l/ha. The height
of the rosette of leaves in the experiment was 35.2 cm at the control and 36.6 - 37.1 cm, respectively, on the fertilized
variants. Measurements made during the beginning of flowering established a tendency for the height and number of arrows
to increase, as well as a significant increase in the diameter of the inflorescence of onions by 20.8 - 37.5% to 5.8 - 6.6
cm (control - 4.8 cm). Improving the habit of plants had a positive effect on their seed productivity. The application of
P45K30 locally + 2 top dressing N15 + 2 foliar top dressing with Reakom 3 l/ha provided the highest seed productivity in the
experiment - 26.8 g, which was significantly higher compared to the control (without fertilizers - 22.4 g). Accordingly, this
version of the fertilizer provided the highest seed yield - 430 kg/ha. Qualitative indicators of seeds met the requirements of
the current state standard and were.wth of flowering arrows. It is noted that the number of leaves increased from 8.4 pcs. to control up to 10.7 pcs. on the standard (N90P135K90) and 11.5 pcs. when making N30P45K30 + Reakom 2×3 l/ha. The height
of the rosette of leaves in the experiment was 35.2 cm at the control and 36.6 - 37.1 cm, respectively, on the fertilized
