The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design with four replications and thirty treatment combinations. An early maturity of garlic crop was noticed with the 30 th October planting date and nutrient management treatment of 75 kg nitrogen ha -1 +37.5 kg phosphorus ha -1 + PSB @ 2.5 g kg ha -1 of cloves. The cloves bulb -1 , size of bulbs and cloves (diameters and length) were found to be the maximum with 15 th September planting date and nutrient management treatment of 50 kg ha -1 + 25 kg phosphorus ha -1 + vermicompost @ 5 t ha -1 .
