Abstract

Effect of different doses of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (NPK) combinations on soil physiochemical property of soil and its component in various garlic (Allium sativum L.) genotypes was studied during 2018 and 2019. The experiment comprises three level of fertilizers i.e. F1-N100P80K80, F2- N120P90K90, F3- N140P100K100 and five genotypes (V1- BRG-13, V2- BRG-14, V3- BRG-1, V4- G1, V5- G- 323). Parameters like soil pH, electrical conductivity, oxidisable organic carbon, available nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and sulphur were recorded. Maximum NPK found in third level of fertilizer in BRG-13 and minimum NPK found in first level of fertilizer in G1.

Keywords

Garlic, genotypes, nitrogen, phosphorus, electrical conductivity

Conclusion

This study shows that application of fertilizers is compulsory to improve the production and productivity of garlic in the study area since almost all parameters of garlic were significantly influenced by NPK fertilizer rates. According to this study most of parameters were significantly highest at BRG-13 genotypes. Due to the application of third level of fertilizer (N140P100K100) almost all the parameter was significantly affected. Therefore, based on this study, it could be recommended that the application of nitrogen 140kg ha-1, phosphorus 100 kg ha-1 and potassium 100kg ha-1 could be recommended for garlic production.
