ABSTRACT
The benefit : cost ratio of different treatments studied in the present investigation revealed maximum gross income and net returns for planting in ridge and furrow method during October with 2.5 g sized cloves (S2D1P4), during both the years of investigation, while minimum gross income was recorded for planting in flat bed method during November with 1.0 g sized cloves (S1D2P1) during both the years of investigation. However, the net returns were minimum for planting in flat bed method during November with 1.5 g sized cloves (S1D2P2) during both the years of investigation. The results also revealed maximum B: C ratio for planting in ridge and furrow method during October with 1.0 g sized cloves (S2D1P1), while minimum value was observed for planting in flat bed method in November with 2.5 g sized cloves (S1D2P4) during both the years of investigation. early planting in October under ridge and furrow method with large sized cloves had resulted in higher yield and quality of garlic. However, based on benefit : cost ratio, it is desirable to adopt early planting in the first week of October under ridge and furrow method of planting with small sized cloves (1.0 g) for realization of optimum yield, quality and returns in garlic.
Key words :
