Abstract:
The specific objective of this study was to effect of macro- nutrients (NPK) on quality and economic feasibility in five different garlic genotypes. The present experiment was conducted during winter (Rabi) season of 2018-19 at the research farm and the laboratory at Bihar Agricultural University Sabour Bhagalpur, Bihar. The experiment comprised of five genotypes of garlic namely, BRG-13, BRG-14, BRG-1, G-1 and G-323 and the treatment consists of three fertilizer levels, F1 (N100P80K80), F2 (N120P90K90), F3 (N140P100K100) and total numbers of treatment combinations were 15. The design of experiment was Split Plot Design and there were three replications. Observations were recorded treatment wise on quality parameter like total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, total Sulphur and economic feasibility of various treatment. The results showed that most of the treatments varied significantly with respect to different fertilizers and genotypes and also due to their interaction effect for quality parameters and that the genotype, BRG-14 was the best performer with respect to growth yield and quality when applied F2 (N120P90K90) and highest B:C ratio in BRG-13 with application of second level of fertilizer i.e.; N120P90K90.
