Influence of Organic and Inorganic Nutrients on Horticultural and Biochemical Traits of Garlic (Allium sativum L.)

The present study was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm at Dr YSP UHF Nauni, Solan during the year 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experimentation was designed in RCBD along with three replications. The data was worked out for various growth, yield and biochemical attributes of garlic. The outcomes of the investigation presented that maximum plant height (88.49 cm), number of leaves per plant (10.35), bulb weight (64.81g), yield per hectare (199.46 q), was calculated for the treatment combination comprising of 75% RDN + Zn @ 5kg/ha + S @ 40kg/ha + 5% Jeevamrit @ 1 l/m2(T13). Observations from the recorded data also proved that 75% RDN + Zn @ 5kg/ha + S @ 40kg/ha + 5% Jeevamrit @ 1 l/m2(T13) recorded maximum oleoresin content(%)and dry matter content (%) i.e. 1.55 and 46.12. Hence, this combination can be further recommended to grower, so they can fetch more yield from the limited land holding.
