SACHIN A.J. and P.P. BHALERAO. 2018. Effect of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen on quality, soil nutrient status, and economics (benefit cost ratio) of garlic (Allium sativum L.) var. GG-4. Green Farming Vol. 9 (5) : 840-843 ; September-October, 2018

ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during rabi season of 2015-16 for evaluating the effect of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen on quality, soil nutrient status and economics of garlic (Allium sativum L.) var. GG-4 by adopting Randomized Block Design with three replications and 9 treatments comprising of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% RDN through FYM with vermicompost as well as 25%, 50%, 75% of nitrogen through urea including 100 % RDF as a control. Among the different nine treatments, significant results were obtained for quality, soil nutrient status and economics. The application of 100% RDN through vermicompost (T8) recorded the maximum TSS (45.390Brix) with 16.60 mg/100g of ascorbic acid content whereas, the treatment also witnessed in highest soil nutrient content. On the other hand, application of 100 % RDN through FYM (T4) achieved the marketable bulb yield of 8.13 t/ha with maximum net return of Rs. 269770.00 having benefit:cost ratio of 4.86:1 as compared to rest of treatments in garlic cv. GG-4.
