| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted during the two successive seasons of 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 at El-Kouther Experimental Farm, Sohag, Egypt on two garlic cultivars i.e., Balady and Sids40. This investigation aims to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth, bulb characters, quality bulb, yield and its components and chemical analysis for two garlic cultivars. Seven treatments of fertilizer were used in this study i.e., cattle manure, poultry manure, (cattle manure50%+poultry manure 50%), (50%NPK+ 50%cattle manure), (50%NPK+ 50%poultry manure), (50%NPK+ 25%cattle manure+25%poultry manure) and 100%NPK. The results indicated that Balady cv. Gave the best results for plant height, fresh weight leaves/plant, number of leaves/bulb and weight loss. While, Sids40 cv. Gave the best results for number of leave/plant, bulb diameter and weight, fresh and totally yield, average clove weight. Moreover, there are no significant differences between garlic cultivars for phosphorus and potassium content. Also, the best fertilizer treatment was (50%NPK+ 25%cattle manure+25% poultry manure) for most studied characters. The Sids40 cultivar receiving 50%NPK+ 25%cattle manure+25%poultry manure gave the best results for most studied characters. | ||
