A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2006 at Navsari on “Effect of fertilizer and gypsum levels on growth, yield and yield attributes of garlic”. Eight treatments comprising of four levels of fertilizer i.e., 100, 80, 60 and 0% RDF and two levels of gypsum i.e., 0 and 2 t/ha were tried in factorial randomized block design with four replications. The bulb yield was significantly affected by application of graded levels of RDF. The increase in bulb yield (6082 kg/ha) of garlic was to the extent of 28.6 and 26.0 per cent under 100% and 80% recommended dose of fertilizers, respectively over 60% RDF. The treatment receiving gypsum @ 2 t/ha recorded the highest bulb (5375 kg/ha) and leaves (593 kg/ha) yield being superior over control. The 100% RDF along with gypsum @ 2 t/ha recorded higher value of bulb and leaves yield, but found at par with 80% RDF along with gypsum @ 2 t/ha. Gypsum application increased bulb yield 26.7 per cent over control. The quality parameters revealed that application of 100 per cent RDF has recorded significantly higher values of protein and sugar content in garlic as compared to lower levels of inorganic fertilizers.
