description The bulb onion is one of the most important agricultural products in Colombia. The productive conditions of the Riego del Alto Chicamocha (Boyaca) district are a regional and national benchmark for this market. The objective of this research was to evaluate four irrigation regimes in terms of production and irrigation water efficiency in bulb onion crops. This trial was in the municipality of Nobsa, village of Dicho (Boyaca). A completely randomized design with four treatments was used: irrigation regime with 150% evapotranspiration (Evt); moisture-based irrigation regime, detected with soil moisture sensors; irrigation regime with 100% Evt; irrigation regime with 60% Evt, along with four repetitions. Starting three weeks after transplant and for 11 weeks (77 days), the polar diameter (cm), equatorial diameter (cm), root length (cm), leaf length (cm), SPAD units, stomatal conductance and irrigation water use efficiency were determined. The irrigation regime with 100% Evt had the best performance in terms of the polar and equatorial diameters and the root and leaf lengths, which were reflected in the fresh weight at harvest. The irrigation regime with soil moisture values obtained from remote sensors, with lower amounts of applied water, had better values for the transformation of water to fresh mass, with 13.64 kg mm-1.

La cebolla de bulbo es uno de los productos agrícolas más importantes en Colombia; las condiciones productivas del distrito de Riego del Alto Chicamocha (Boyacá) son un referente regional y nacional para dicho mercado. El objetivo de ésta investigación fue la evaluación de cuatro láminas de riego en términos de producción y eficiencia del agua de riego sobre la producción y eficiencia del agua para riego en el cultivo de cebolla de bulbo. El ensayo se ubicó en el municipio de Nobsa, vereda Dichó (Boyacá). Se empleó un diseño completamente al azar con cuatro tratamientos; lámina de riego al 150% de la evapotranspiración (Evt); lámina de riego basada en humedad detectada por sensores de humedad del suelo; lámina de riego al 100% de la Evt, y lámina de riego al 60% de la Evt con cuatro repeticiones. A partir de la tercera semana del trasplante, se inició el seguimiento por 11 semanas (77 días), se evaluó el diámetro polar (cm), diámetro ecuatorial (cm), longitud de raíz (cm), longitud de hojas (cm), unidades SPAD, conductancia estomática y eficiencia en el uso del agua de riego. La aplicación de la lámina de riego supliendo el 100% de la Evt mostró el mejor rendimiento en términos de diámetro tanto polar como ecuatorial, longitud de raíz y de hoja, los cuales se vieron reflejados en el peso fresco a cosecha. Las aplicaciones de láminas de agua basados en valores de humedad de suelo obtenidos a partir de sensores remotos, con menores cantidades de agua aplicada presenta mejores valores de transformación de agua en masa fresca con 13,64 kg mm-1.
