Effect of Organic Manure on Growth, Yield and Quality of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) under Hadauti Region

Abstract

Garlic (Allium sativam L.) is the second important bulb crop after onion. It is very hardy vegetable crop and is grown throughout India. It reduces the cholesterol in the blood. The garlic extracts also the nematicidal fungicidal and bacterial properties. Garlic is in flavorings food, preparing chutneys, pickles, curry powder, tomato ketchup etc. It is rich in proteins, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and carbohydrates. China rank 1 st in area and production (7.79 lakh ha and 179.68 lakh MT, respectively) and India is the second in area (2.05 lakh ha) and production (10.70 lakh MT). Egypt tops in list (23.83t/ha) productivity followed by China (23.06t/h). The research was conducted during rabi season 2016-2017 at the field of Horticulture department, School of Agricultural Sciences, Career Point University-Kota, Rajasthan, India. The annual rainfall of the region is 650 -1000 mm, most of which is contributed by south west monsoon from July to September. The following observations on various characters were recorded during the period of experimentation is under Shoot observations and Root observations. In experiments indicates that maximum plant height at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing was found with the treatment T 8 (75% RDF+25% Vermi-compost) and followed by T 5 (50% RDF+50% Vermicompost) and T 1 (control) respectively, while minimum plant height was recorded under the control treatment. It is clearly indicates that maximum number of leaves per plant at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing were found with the treatment T 8 (75% RDF+ 25% Vermicompost) 4.80,4.61,6.11 per plant followed by T 5 (50% RDF 50% Vermicompost) 3.75, 4.86, 6.34 and T 1 (control) respectfully while minimum number of leaves per plant was recorded under the control treatment. The maximum clove length are recorded under treatment T 8 (75% RDF +25 % Vermi-compost) 2.66 cm and followed by T 5 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost) 2.59 cm. While minimum in treatment T 1 (control) 1.67 cm. Length of clove was measure after harvesting. T 8 Treatment and T 5 Treatment also show possible significant response for length of cloves. Length of clove show positive response of good yield.

Effects of different combinations of poultry manure and urea on growth, yield and economics of garlic (Allium sativum L.)

“…This might be due to the combined supply of organic and inorganic fertilizer that maintain the soil fertility, availability of nutrients and microbial activities resulting in better growth and increase in bulb weight. The similar result was reported by Kumar et al, (2019). Yadav et al, (2017) had also reported maximum bulb weight in combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer in garlic crop.…”

“…The maximum bulb diameter in 75% urea+ 25% poultry manure might be due to proper supply of required nutrients that are required for the enlargement of bulb. Similar result was obtained by Kumar et al, (2019). Sevak et al, (2012) have also reported the highest bulb diameter in combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer in garlic crop.…”

Effect of Organic and Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizers on Growth, Productivity and Bulb Quality of Garlic Plants Grown under Sandy Soil Conditions

“…The improvement in garlic quality may be due to increased vegetative growth and greater accumulation of substrates which ultimately increased the quality of bulb through desirable enzymatic changes taking place during growth. The similar results have been reported by Yadav et al (2017) and Kumar et al (2019). In addition, Mahmoud et al (2000) found that organic manure or and NPK treatments showed a significant increase of N, P and K in onion bulbs and Degwale et al (2016) reported that, 5 t ha -1 vermicompost alone or combined with 46 N + 92 P 2 O 5 (kg/ha.)…”

“…In addition, vermicompost increased microbial diversity and populations, and soil fertility, as well as improved the moistureholding capacity of soils, and increased the soil cation exchange capacity (Suparno et al, 2013, Yadav andGarg 2019). Owing to vermicompost application, the highest vegetative growth, productivity and best quality were recorded as reported by Suthar (2009), Verma et al (2013), Golmohammadzadeh et al (2015, Patidar et al (2017), Acharya and Kumar (2018), Fikru and Fikreyohannes (2019), Kumar et al (2019) and Meena et al (2019) on garlic plants. Furthermore, Degwale et al (2016) found that application of 5 t ha -1 of vermicompost alone or combined with application of 46 kg N ha -1 plus 92 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 led to the maximum vegetative growth, yield and quality of the garlic crop.…”
