Effect of organic, inorganic sources of nutrients on growth of garlic (Allium sativum L.)

Abstract

The experiment was carried out to find out the effect of organic, inorganic sources of nutrients on growth of Garlic. The treatment combinations involving ten levels of C1 O1 Control + Control, C1 O2 Control + FYM @ 15 t/ha, C1 O3 Control + Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, C1 O4 Control + Goat manure @ 5 t/ha, C2 O1 100% RDF- N:P:K:S(100:60:60:45 kg NPKS/ha) + Control, C2 O2 100% RDF- N:P:K:S(100:60:60:45 kg NPKS/ha)+ FYM@ 15 t/ha, C2 O3 100% RDF- N:P:K:S(100:60:60:45 kg NPKS/ha)+ Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, C2 O4 100% RDF- N:P:K:S(100:60:60:45 kg NPKS/ha)+ Goat manure @ 5 t/ha, C3 O1 75% RDF- N:P:K:S(75:45:45:33.75 kg NPKS/ha) + Control, C3 O2 75% RDF- N:P:K:S(75:45:45:33.75 kg NPKS/ha)+ FYM@ 15 t/ha, C3 O3 75% RDF- N:P:K:S(75:45:45:33.75 kg NPKS/ha)+ Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, C3 O4 75% RDF- N:P:K:S(75:45:45:33.75 kg NPKS/ha)+ Goat manure@ 5 t/ha, C4 O1 50% RDF- N:P:K:S(50:30:30:22.5 kg NPKS/ha) +Control, C4 O2 50% RDF- N:P:K:S(50:30:30:22.5 kg NPKS/ha)+ FYM @ 15 t/ha, C4 O3 50% RDF- N:P:K:S(50:30:30:22.5 kg NPKS/ha)+ Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, C4 O4 50% RDF- N:P:K:S(50:30:30:22.5 kg NPKS/ha)+ Goat manure @ 5 t/ha Practices were given in G-50 variety. Plant height cm, number of leaves per plant, Leaf area per plant (cm2). Were observed by the maximum at 30,60,90, and 120 DAS were observed under the treatment C2 O2 100% RDF- N:P:K:S(100:60:60:45 kg NPKS/ha)+ FYM@ 15 t/ha, at all the growth stages.
