Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during Rabi season 2015-16 on loamy sand soil. The experiment consisting four levels of each phosphorus (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg/ha). The Garlic variety G-282 was sown on 3rd November, 2015 at 15 x 8 cm spacing. The application of 75kg/ha phosphorus to the Garlic crop significantly increased the plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, total chlorophyll content in leaves (mg/g), fresh weight of leaves, neck thickness of bulb, bulb diameter, Fresh weight of bulb (g), weight of bulb after curing (g), number of cloves per bulb, K content in bulb, bulb yield(kg/plot), bulb yield q/ha, net returns and B:C ratio as compared to control, and 25kg/ha Phosphorus but statistically at par with 50kg/ha Phosphorus, whereas nitrogen content in bulb, phosphorus content in bulb, sulphar content in bulb, T.S.S. content in bulb, were found maximum at 75kg/ha phosphorus to as compared to control and 25kg/ha phosphorus being statistically at par with 50kg/ha phosphorus. Application of 50 kg/ha Phosphorus significantly increased the available P2O5 in soil after harvest the crop over preceding levels of phosphorus.
