Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the bulb attributes and B:C of garlic (Allium sativum L.) as influenced by NAA and thiourea with varying levels of nitrogen during the rabi season. The results indicated that among NAA and thiourea treatments, foliar application of thiourea 200 ppm to the garlic crop significantly increased fresh weight of bulb (50.69 g), bulb yield (134.58 q/ha) and net returns ( 1,08,062 /ha) and B: C ratio (1.34) as compared to control. Application of nitrogen 125 % of recommended dose of nitrogen significantly increased the weight of bulb (50.11 g) and bulb yield (138.89 q/ha) and net returns ( 1,13,662 /ha) and B: C ratio (1.40), which was statistically at par with application of 100 % of recommended dose of nitrogen. The interaction effect of NAA, thiourea and nitrogen was found significant on the fresh weight and yield of garlic bulb. The maximum fresh weight of bulb and yield (61.59 g and 159.64 q/ha) was recorded under treatment combination thiourea 200 ppm + 125 % recommended dose of nitrogen, respectively. However, it was found statistically at par to treatment thiourea @ 100 ppm + 125 % RDN and thiourea 200 ppm + 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen. B: C ratio was significantly influenced by interaction effect of growth regulators and nitrogen application. However, the application of thiourea 200 ppm + 125 % recommended dose of nitrogen recorded maximum B: C ratio 1.76 for garlic crop, which was at par with treatments thiourea 200 ppm + 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen, thiourea 100 ppm + 125 % recommended dose of nitrogen and thiourea 100 ppm + 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen.
