Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on the effect of macro and micro nutrients on yield and nutrient uptake in garlic (Allium sativum L.)” was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 at Horticultural Research and Training Station and KVK, Kandaghat of Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Ten combinations of different macro and micro nutrients were replicated thrice in the form of ten treatments in a plot having dimensions of 2.0x2.0m. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications involving a spacing of 20x10cm. The cloves of garlic variety ‘Kandaghat Selection’ were sown on 1st October, 2015. The data were recorded onbulb yield per hectare (q) and NPK uptake by the plant. The results revealed that application of 125 per cent of recommended dose of NPK + Zn @ 7.5kg/ha produced best results in terms of bulb yield per hectare (q) and NPK uptake by the plant, whereas, minimum values for all these characters were recorded in the absolute control.
