Abstract
ABSTRACT
The present investigation entitled “Effect of different clove weight and soil amendments
on the yield and quality of garlic bulbs” was conducted during Rabi season of 2017-18 at
Khaltoo farm of department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar
University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Block Design (factorial) with three replications of each treatment combination
(clove weight x soil amendments). The observations were recorded on plant height, number of
leaves per plant, bulb yield (kg/plot) and q/ha), diameter of bulb, weight of clove, TSS etc.
Analysis of variance showed significant differences among all the treatment combinations for all
the characters under study. Highest bulb yield per plot (1.90 kg) was obtained with the treatment
combination S3T2 (clove weight of >5g and vermicompost @5 kg). Moreover clove weight S3
(>5g) and soil amendment T2 (vermicompost @5 kg) independently as well as in their
combination also gave the best results for most of the growth and yield characters. Therefore,
clove weight S3 (>5g) in combination with soil amendment T2 (vermicompost @5 kg) can be
recommended for commercial cultivation for getting the higher yields in garlic.
