Abstract: The work was carried out during the years 2015-2016 at experimental field of RRS (OAZ), UBKV to study the effect of different organic and inorganic nutrient combination on garlic production using two variety viz. Gangajali and Katki. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replicates. The treatments consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150 Kg ha-1), three levels of phosphorus (0, 50, 100 Kg ha-1) and two levels of vermicompost (0, 10 tons ha-1). From different treatment combinations of NPV, the leaf number increased with the increasing level of both nitrogen and vermicompost. The treatment N2P1V1 (recommended dose of NPV 150:50:10) was found for increase bulb weight, bulb diameter in respect of higher bulb yield in both the variety. The effect of vermicompost also significantly (P < 0.05) influenced plant height, leaf number, mean bulb weight, bulb diameter and total bulb yield. From the character association studies it was revealed that leaf breadth, bulb weight and bulb diameter were significant and positive association with bulb yield among both the varieties.
