Abstract
Description
A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, SVP
University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (UP) during the year 2021-22 for
evaluating the effect of nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium
sativum L.) cv. Yamuna Safed- 3”. The total numbers of treatments were nine laid out in
different combinations of inorganic and organic fertilizers and was replicated three times
in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The application of treatment 75% RDF (75:40:40:25
NPKS kg/ha) + FYM (2.5 t/ha) + PM (0.5 t/ha) (T7) was found significantly superior in
terms of plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves and width of leaf, height and width
of collar, fresh weight of plant, earliness in maturity, weight of bulbs and size of bulbs,
number of cloves, weight of cloves and size of cloves, TSS, ascorbic acid content, A and
B grade bulbs of garlic crop as compared to control and other treatments. The highest yield
160.52 q ha-1 and B:C ratio 2.40 was observed with the application of T7-75% RDF
(75:40:40:25 NPKS kg/ha) + FYM (2.5 t/ha) + PM (0.5 t/ha).
