A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management modules on garlic yield, nutrient uptake and pungency during 2011-12 and 2012-13. The experiment consisted of nine treatments with three replications in randomized block design. Application of inorganic fertilizer with Farm Yard Manure (FYM), Vermi Compost (VC) amd Poultry Manure (PM) increased garlic yield by 6.5-7.9 per cent compared to inorganic fertilizers alone and 9.9-11.2 per cent over single source of organic manure, biofertilizers, and inorganic fertilizers. Pyruvic acid content was higher in the plots receiving integrated use of inorganic fertilizers and organic manures. Biofertilizers increased soil organic carbon and maintained soil fertility compared to pre-planting soil test values. INM treatments had higher levels of nutrient uptake than the treatments receiving inorganic fertilizers alone. The result indicated that the farmers could save 25 per cent inorganic fertilizers and organic manures by integrating inorganic fertilizers,FYM with VC or PM, or by integrating inorganic fertilizers, FYM, VC, and PM.
