Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter season (Rabi) in the year 2023-24 at the Vegetable research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar. The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD having three replications. The treatment factors consisted of two biofertilizers viz., PSB, Azotobacter and their combination and two micronutrients viz.,0.2 % and 0.4 % zinc sulphate and 0.2% and 0.4% borax. Biofertilizers were applied via seed treatment and micronutrients by way of foliar application. The application of biofertilizers and micronutrients had a significant effect on growth and yield of garlic over control. The treatment B3M2 (PSB+Azotobacter+0.4% zinc sulphate) recorded maximum plant height (68.47 cm), number of leaves (11.23), leaf length (49.58 cm), leaf width (1.61 cm), fresh weight of bulb (35.59g), number of cloves per bulb (48.77), fresh weight of 50 cloves (40.12 g), bulb yield (2.62 kg/plot) while minimum were recorded in control.
