The objectives of experimentation were to assess the effect of organic manures in combination with fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of garlic and economics of the treatments. The experiment consisted of eleven treatments with RDF 100% (NPK120: 50:100 kg ha.-1) (T1), Neem cake 100% (40 q ha.-1) (T2), RDF 75% + Neem cake (10 q ha.-1) (T3), RDF 50% + Neem cake (20 q ha.-1) (T4), FYM 100% (240 q ha.-1) (T5), RDF 75% + FYM (60 q ha.-1) (T6), RDF 50% + FYM (120 q ha.-1) (T7), Vermicompost 100% (160 q ha.-1) (T8), RDF 75% + Vermicompost (40 q ha.-1) (T9), RDF 50% + Vermicompost (80 q ha.-1) (T10) and Neem cake (13 q ha.-1) + FYM (80 q ha.-1) + Vermicompost (53 q ha.-1) (T11) were tested in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results were revealed that the application of different treatments influenced the growth, yield and quality attributes of garlic. Among the different treatments, application of RDF 50% + FYM (120 q ha.-1) (T7) recorded maximum plant height at 90 DAP (65.52 cm), number of leaves per plant at 90 DAP (8.06), harvest index (86.88%), bulb weight (30.93 g), bulb diameter (4.82 cm), yield per plot (10.45 kg), clove weight (1.81 g), clove diameter (12.29 mm), clove length (3.24 cm), TSS (43.13 oBrix), chlorophyll content of leaves (0.76 mg/gm/fresh wt.), sulphur content (1.36%), dry matter content (46.34%), ascorbic acid (13.88 mg/100gm) and crude protein content (18.95%) then rest of the treatments.ennullThesis
