Abstract: An investigation was conducted at Horticulture Garden of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology during Rabi season of 2016-17 to study the effects of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and its attributing traits in garlic. Ten treatments were compared in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among the different treatments, the treatment T₁ (application of 100 % RDF- Recommended Dose of Fertilizer) recorded the maximum plant height (70.6cm), plant diameter (0.84 cm) and length of longest leaf at 60 DAP (41.07 cm) and 90 DAP (69.47 cm) as compared to other treatments. Weight of bulb (39.68g), length (5.24 cm) and diameter of bulb (5.03 cm), number of cloves per bulb (27.63), length of clove (3.82cm), weight of single clove (1.52g) of competitive plants, bulb yield per plot (4.66kg) and bulb yield per ha (155.48q) was maximum in the treatment T₇ (50% RDF + 7.5t/ha FYM +2 t/ha Vermicompost)_.
