Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Optimizing garlic production through organic and inorganic nutrient sources” was conducted in year 2021–22 at experimental farm of Department of Agriculture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India. The sowing was done on second fortnight of October 2021 with a 15 × 7.5 cm spacing, followed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 12 treatments, including a control. Results showed that among various growth and yield parameters treatment combining 50% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and 50% poultry manure (T8) yielded significantly highest plant height (54.57 cm), leaves number (6.07), Bulb weight (23.73 g), yield (12.46 t/ha), and quality attributes like total soluble solids (35. 40 ˚Brix) and ascorbic acid (12.32 mg/100g). These findings highlight the efficacy of integrated nutrient management especially with the use of poultry manure as organic nutrient source for optimizing garlic production.
