Abstract	Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the important vegetables in Sudan. A study was carried out in Wad Elgatra and Abu Ajab of the Algezira scheme during the 2020 and 2021 rainy seasons to investigate the effect of transplanting date and cow manure on the growth and yield of onions. The experiment was carried out based on a split-plot design with the cow manure in the main plot, transplanting date in the subplot, and replicated three times. Data on growth, yield, and yield components were collected and analyzed using Mstatc. Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference Test was used to separate means at a 5% probability level. Application of cow manure at 20 t ha-1 recorded greater leaf area and early maturity compared to the control. Control cow manure produced the highest bulb yield (34.45 t ha-1) in 2021 at Wad Elgatra, while application 20 t ha-1 recorded the lowest bulb yield (6.96 t ha-1) 2020 at Abu Ajab. Late August transplanting increased plant height, number of leaves plant-1, and leaf area plant-1, while the early August transplanting recorded the lowest plant height, number of leaves plant-1, and leaf area plant-1. The mid-August transplanting recorded the highest bulb diameter and bulb yield. Transplanting in mid-August had a higher bulb yield (37.18 t ha-1) in 2021 at Wad Elgatra, while late August transplanting produced the least (5.26 t ha-1) in 2020 at Abu Ajab. Based on the findings, it could be suggested that farmers in the study area, should adopt the cultivation of onion during early and mid-August to achieve higher and marketable onion yield productivity in the Sudan Republic.
