Abstract: An experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2018 at the Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of Application of different combinations of fertilizers increased the quality and B:C ratio in garlic. The maximum tss (42.70 °Brix), ascorbic acid (14.93 mg/100g), crude protein (16.27 per cent), sulphur content of bulb (1.36 per cent) were recorded with the application of (100 per cent RDF＋Vermicompost @ 6 t ha-1＋ Sulphur @ 45 kg ha-1). The same treatment also produced the highest net returns of ( 185629.9) along with benefit: cost ratio (1.80). These results suggested that the optimum production of garlic can be obtained with application of (100 per cent RDF＋Vermicompost @ 6 t ha-1＋ Sulphur @ 45 kg ha-1).
