Total ten treatments were laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that biofertilizers and NPK both when applied in combination exhibited positive effects on vegetative growth parameters plant height i.e. 35.80 cm., No. of leaves/ plant i.e. 8.25,weight of bulb i.e. 55.35 g, No. of cloves per bulb i.e. 19.80 and yield parameters (bulb yield per plot i.e. 2.99 kg and bulb yield per ha. i.e. 74.75 q/ha over the other treatments Therefore, application of 90% RDF+ Azotobacter + PSB was considered as effective treatment for enhancing the growth, yield and quality of garlic crop.
