The field experiment was conducted on rabi onion cv. N-53 (Allium cepa L.) at Horticulture Instructional Farm, College of Horticulture & Research Station, Jagdalpur during the year 2015-2016 to study the effect of age of seedlings on growth, size of bulb and yield of onion cv. N-53 as intercrop in mango orchard under the climatic condition of Bastar plateau. Different age of seedling did not show significant effect on plant stand per plot. The plant height, leaf length per plant, number of leaves per plant, grade wise yield, weight of doubled per plot, total yield per plot, marketable yield per plot, were measured and significantly higher with transplanting of 40 days age of seedling i.e., treatment T4. The minimum days required for maturity (142.00) was recorded with transplanting of 40 days age of seedling.
