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.ennullThesis
