ABSTRACT
A field experiment on the effect of vermicompost, sulphur and micronutrients on growth and yield of garlic (Allium sativum L.) var. G-282' was conducted during the rabi season in 2012-13 at the Deptt. of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture & Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of eighteen treatment combinations with three levels of vermicompost (control, 10 and 15 t ha-1), two levels of elemental sulphur (control, and 25 kg ha-1) and three levels of micronutrients (control, ZnSO4 @ 0.4% and boric acid @ 0.2%) in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Application of 15 t ha-1 vermicompost, 25 kg ha-1 sulphur and ZnSO4 @ 0.4% individually produced maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, neck thickness, total chlorophyll content of leaves, fresh weight of bulb, diameter of bulb, number of cloves per bulb, clove length, fresh weight of 50 cloves, dry weight of 50 cloves, yield of bulb per plot and estimated yield of bulb per hectare, as compared to control. The combined effect of vermicompost @ 15 t ha-1 (VC2) and sulphur @ 25 kg ha-1 (S1) was found significant on plant height, total chlorophyll content of leaves, neck thickness, fresh weight of bulb, bulb diameter, clove length, bulb yield in kg/plot and estimated bulb yield in qt/ha. The combined effect of vermicompost @ 15 t ha-1 (VC2) and ZnSO4 @ 0.4 percent (M1) was found significant on plant height, total chlorophyll content of leaves, leaf length, neck thickness, fresh weight of bulb, bulb diameter, clove length, bulb yield in kg/plot and estimated bulb yield in qt/ha. The interaction effect of vermicompost @ 15 t ha-1 along with sulphur @ 25 kg ha-1 and ZnSO4 @ 0.4 percent i.e.VC2S1M1 was found significant on total chlorophyll content of leaves, neck thickness, fresh weight of bulb, bulb diameter, fresh and dry weight of 50 cloves, bulb yield in kg/plot and estimated bulb yield in qt/ha as compared to control.. However, it was found statistically at par with VC2S1M2 i.e. vermicompost @ 15 t ha-1 along with sulphur @ 25 kg ha-1 and boric acid @ 0.2 percent.
