Abstract

Field experiment was carried out on loamy sand soil at Jobner (Jaipur), during rabi season of 2006- 07 to study the effect of fertility levels and organic manures on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.). The result indicates that recommended dose of fertilizers (100% RDF) achieved the maximum growth and yield attributes, resulting in 41.7%, 17.7% and 6.3% higher bulb yield over control (9.78 t ha-1), 50, and 75% RDF respectively. The application of vermicompost @ 5 t/ha induced significantly higher growth, yield and quality character over other treatments and at par with poultry manure @ 5 t/ha and yielded 56.9%, 13.3% and 19.1% more bulb yield over control (8.94 t ha-1), vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 and poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1, respectively.
