Abstract EN
A study was conducted under irrigation during dry season at the Katsina State Irrigation Site, Ajiwa.
The aim of the experiment was to enhance the productivity of garlic through the choice of appropriate levels of nitrogenous fertilizer and suitable cultivar which maximizes yield.
The experiment consisted of two varieties (ex-kofa and ex-sokoto) and four levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, and 150 kgN/ha).
They were arranged in a randomized complete block design in three replications.
The variety ex-sokoto was found superior to ex-kofa with respect to plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and days to maturity, number of bulbs, bulb diameter, bulb weight, and number of cloves per bulb, cloves weight per bulb, and fresh and cured bulb yield.
Application of 50 kgN/ha significantly increased plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf area, number of bulbs, and the total yield of the garlic.
Significant effects of interaction between variety and nitrogen on leaf area and number of cloves per bulb of the garlic were observed.
The combination of ex-sokoto variety and 50 kgN/ha was found to increase garlic yield.
Maximum growth and yield could be realized using a combination of ex-sokoto variety and 50 kgN/ha at Ajiwa.
