Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on macro and micro nutrients on soil characters and yield of garlic (Allium sativum L.)†was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 at Horticultural Research and Training Station and KVK, Kandaghat of Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Ten combinations of different macro and micro nutrients were replicated thrice in the form of ten treatments in a plot having dimensions of 2.0x2.0 m. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications involving a spacing of 20x10 cm. The cloves of garlic variety ‘Kandaghat Selection’ were sown on 1st October, 2015. The data were recorded on bulb yield per hectare (q) and NPK content of the soil before start and after termination of experiment. The results revealed that application of 125% of recommended dose of NPK + Zn @ 7.5 kg/ha produced best results in terms of bulb yield per hectare (q) whereas, minimum values for these characters were recorded in the absolute control. Application of 125% of recommended dose of NPK + Zn @ 5kg/ha produced best results for characters like NPK content of the soil before start and after termination of experiment. It was concluded that application of 125% of recommended dose of NPK + Zn @ 7.5kg/ha gave better results and hence, can be recommended for harvesting maximum yield from garlic after repeating the experiment for another two years.
