A field experiment was conducted at Research farm, Dept. of Horticulture, M.G.C.G.V.V., Chitrakoot, and Satna (M.P.) during Rabi season of 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the effect of conventional and organic production system on growth parameters of Garlic CV-Yamuna Safed-3 (G-282). The experiment was laid down in Factorial Randomized Block Design and replicated in three times. Each replication was comprised of 18 treatment combinations. The following treatment combinations involving three levels of Conventional Agriculture vis. Control-CO, RDF (100% NPK @ 100:60:60 Kg ha¹) - C1, 50% NPK (50:30:30 Kg ha¹) + FYM 5 t ha¹ - C2 and six levels of Organic Production System i.e. Sowing on root days (according to moon) - O1, Vermi compost @ 5 t.ha¹ -O2, Treatment of cloves with Bijamrita for 5 minutes @ 10% - O3, Irrigation with Jiwamrita at field preparation and with every irrigation 500 1 ha¹ - O4, Panchagavya @ 3% Foliar application (30, 60 & 90 days after planting) - O5, Vermi Wash @ 10% (30, 60 & 90 days after planting) - O6 were given in G-282 of garlic variety.
