Effect of Organic Manure on Growth, Yield and Quality of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) under Hadauti Region
Year: 2019
Type: article
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 1st 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 T8 (75% RDF+25% Vermi-compost) and followed by T5 (50% RDF+50% Vermicompost) and T1 (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 T8 (75% RDF+ 25% Vermicompost) 4.80,4.61,6.11 per plant followed by T5 (50% RDF 50% Vermi-compost) 3.75, 4.86, 6.34 and T1 (control) respectfully while minimum number of leaves per plant was recorded under the control treatment. The maximum clove length are recorded under treatment T8 (75% RDF +25 % Vermi-compost) 2.66 cm and followed by T5 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost) 2.59 cm. While minimum in treatment T1 (control) 1.67 cm. Length of clove was measure after harvesting. T8 Treatment and T5 Treatment also show possible significant response for length of cloves. Length of clove show positive response of good yield.
