 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Rabi season for the two consecutive years (2017-18 and 2018-19) to study the effect of drip irrigation and nitrogen fertigation levels on growth characters of garlic.The observations were recorded on growth parameters, i.e., plant height at 60, 90, 120 DAP and at harvest (cm), number of leaves per plant at 60, 90, 120 DAP and at harvest, leaf length at harvest (cm) and days to maturity.  All these growth parameters were recorded maximum with drip irrigation at IW/CPE 1.2 as compared to other levels of drip irrigation and among the nitrogen fertigation treatments, the growth parameters were observed maximum where 90 kg/ha nitrogen was applied through drip system. The interaction between drip irrigation and nitrogen fertigation was found significant for all these characters except for plant height at 120 DAP and days to maturity.
