A field experiment was conducted on garlic var. GG-3 in medium black calcareous soils (Typic Ustocrepts) using fertility gradient approach and fertilizer prescription equation were calculated. The results of follow up trails conducted at different locations showed that yields targeted were achived below ± 10 per cent variation but adjusted fertilizer prescription equation were fitted only at yields targeted of 60 to 70 qha-1 yield of garlic in the study. The income/cost ratio for the additional produce obtained over recommended dose 14.8 and 15.1 for garlic bulb yield at targets of 60 and 70 qha-1, respectively.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted on garlic var. GG-3 in medium black calcareous soils (Typic Ustocrepts) using fertility gradient approach and fertilizer prescription equation were calculated. The results of follow up trails conducted at different locations showed that yields targeted were achived below ± 10 per cent variation but adjusted fertilizer prescription equation were fitted only at yields targeted of 60 to 70 qha-1 yield of garlic in the study. The income/cost ratio for the additional produce obtained over recommended dose 14.8 and 15.1 for garlic bulb yield at targets of 60 and 70 qha-1, respectively.
