Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 with 14 treatment combination of inorganic, organic and biological sources of nutrient in garlic. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) in three replications with fourteen treatments viz. T1 -RDF (100:80:80 kg/ha), T2-50% RDF+ FYM @15 t/ha, T3-50% RDF + VC@5t /ha, T4-25% RDF+ FYM @20 t/ha, T5-25% RDF + VC@7.5t/ha, T6- FYM @ 30 t/ha, T7-Varmi compost @ 10 t/ha, T8-FYM @ 10 t/ha + foliar spray of Panchgavya @ 3% at 30, 45, 60,75 and 90 DAP, T9-Varmi compost @ 5 t/ha + FYM @ 10 t/ha + foliar spray of Panchgavya @ 3% at 30, 45, 60,75 and 90 DAP, T10-FYM @ 10 t/ha + Madka khad + foliar spray of Panchgavya @ 3% at 30, 45, 60,75 and 90 DAP, T11-Varmi compost @ 5 t/ha + FYM @ 10 t/ha +Matka Khad+ foliar spray of Panchgavya @ 3% at 30, 45, 60,75 and 90 DAP, T12- Varmi compost @ 2.5 t/ha+ Seed treatment + Bijamrit+ irrigation with Jevamrit+ foliar spray of Panchgavya, T13-Varmi compost @ 2.5 t/ha + Seed treatment + Bijamrit+ irrigation with Jevamrit+ foliar spray of Panchgavya + Varmi wash, T14- Farmer practice NPK 80:60:60 kg/ha. The experiment findings based on observations viz. plant height, number of leaves/plant, leaf length, leaf width, collar length, collar thickness, polar diameter, equatorial diameter, average bulb weight, neck thickness, total soluble solids, different grades of bulbs, marketable bulb yield and total bulb yield.
