“…The lower harvest indices at the higher combined rates of the fertilizers could be attributed to excess vegetative growth that has a detrimental effect on partitioning of assimilates towards the bulbs. In contrary to this study, Fikru and Fikreyohannes (2018) also documented non-significant response of garlic (A. sativum L.) to vermicompost and mineral N fertilizer application for harvest index.…”

to 17 January, 2011 to investigate the effect of manure and different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield attributed traits. A local garlic cultivar was used for the study. The treatments consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0, 50,100 and 150 kg/ha) and three levels of goat manure (0, 10 and 20 t/ha). The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in a factorial arrangement and replicated three times. The results revealed that interaction effects of nitrogen and manure significantly (P<0.05) influenced plant height, mean fresh bulb weight, mean clove weight, total bulb yield, fresh biomass yield, percent bulb dry matter yield and harvest index. While neither the combined nor the main effects of manure and nitrogen had significant effect (P>0.05) on leaf number. However, the combined application of 50 kg/ha N and 10 t/ha manure significantly (P<0.05) increased mean fresh bulb weight, mean clove weight, total bulb yield, and harvest index. Maximum yield (27.8 t/ha) was recorded at the combined application of 50 kg/ ha N and 10 t/ha manure. It can, thus, be concluded that for short term garlic production, smallholder farmers could not only get optimum yield of garlic from the combined application of 50 kg/ha N plus 10 t manure/ha but also could save considerably on inorganic fertilizers that can be used for increasing yield of other crops to enhance food security and income.

“…Furthermore, Verma et al (2013) reported that combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers provided plants with all essential elements required for better plant growth and development. Also, Fikru and Fikreyohannes (2019) and obtained the similar conclusion with garlic plants. In addition, Degwale et al (2016) found that N from vermicompost as well as the inorganic N application is one of the important building blocks of amino acids (-NH 2 ), where they linked together to form proteins and make up metabolic processes required for plant growth.…”

“…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.…”

Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of vermicompost, botanical compost and mineral nitrogen fertilizers on growth, productivity and bulb quality of garlic.The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Results showed that fertilizing garlic plants with 3 ton/feddan of vermicompost+20 m 3 /feddan of botanical compost+100% of recommended mineral nitrogen increased plant height, leaf number, neck and bulb diameters, bulbing ratio, bulb weight, number of cloves/bulb, dry weight of bulb and leaves, total dry weight/plant and total yield/feddan. Also, this treatment led also to an increment of N, P and K contents in leaves, bulb and plant, total protein and dry matter contents, while the lowest value of nitrate content in cloves was obtained by using vermicompost at 3 ton/feddan+ botanical compost at 20 m 3 /feddan in both seasons of the study.

“…However, the lowest leaf diameter was recorded from control treatment which is without fertilizer. Similar with this result, Fikru and Fikreyohannes [23] reported that the highest leaf diameter was recorded by highest level of nitrogen fertilization 130 kg N ha −1 . The main effect of NPS fertilizer was found non-significant.…”

“…This result is in line with the result of Lujiu, et al [22] as verified that an increase in the level of NPK fertilizer levels increase the shoot length of garlic. Similarly Fikru and Fikreyohannes [23] reported that leaf length was significantly influenced by nitrogen fertilization. However, the main effect of nitrogen did not significantly influence this parameter.…”

Keeping in view of lack of recommended rates of N and NPS fertilizers, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the newly introduced NPS fertilizer and nitrogen on growth, physiology and above ground biomass of garlic. Four NPS (0-0-0, 78. 75-69-12.75, 105-92-17 and 131.25-115-21.25 kg N-P-S ha -1 ) and three nitrogen fertilizer rates (114.13, 228.26 and 278.33 kg N ha -1 ) were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Significantly highest plant height (28.02 cm), leaf diameter (1.27 cm), dry and fresh weight (4.71 g and 6.11 g) and leaf length were recorded on garlic plants supplied with 105-92-17 kg N-P-S ha -1 and also the highest plant height (27.75 cm), leaf length (24.02 cm), fresh and dry weight (6.23 g and 5.04 g) were recorded on garlic plants supplied with 278.33 kg N ha -1 . The interaction effect also show a significant effect in almost all the growth parameters; the early day to 50% emergence was recorded from a plot which received 228.26 kg N ha -1 and 105-92-17 kg NPS ha -1 and the highest plant height, leaf length, fresh and dry above ground biomass and leaf diameter were 29.
