Effect of bio-fertilizers on growth and yield response of garlic (Allium sativum L.) garlic

A field experiment entitled ‘Effect of Bio-Fertilizers on Growth and Yield Response of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) was conducted during the rabi season in 2022-23 and 2023-24 at the Research Farm-I of the Department of Horticulture, Mansarovar Global University, Bilkishganj Sehore (Madhya Pradesh). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and three replications. The maximum plant height (65.62 cm), number of leaves (7.495), length of leaves (48.015 cm), diameter of bulb (4.945 cm), number of cloves (28.375) per plant, length of cloves (4.94 cm) per plant, yield of bulb (81.75 q/ha), Total Soluble Solids (41.95) per plant, were recorded underT9 (Azospirillum + Phosphobacteria) treatments. Application of T9 (Azospirillum +Phosphobacteria) may be considered as best treatment in terms of all growth and yield characters.
