ABSTRACT:

An experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2000-01 to 2002-03 at  village Pal, Mainpuri under NATP programme for harvesting the potential yield of medicinal plant garlic to making the KVK model, C.S. Azad University  of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The site of pilot project situated in sodic land affected area of SWSAZ-IV of Uttar Pradesh. The main objective of study was to harvest the maximum yield of garlic from salt affected soil. The secondary objective was to fulfill the need of consumer and medicinal manufactures. The soil of pilot area was salt affected. Four treatments i.e., conventional system/farmers practice (73.20 kg N +115 kg P2O5 + 25 kg ZnSO4 + spaying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha), 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20/ha, 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSO4/ha and 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit /ha were tested. Application 0f 120 kg N+60 kg P205+60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha registered highest yield of garlic bulbs by 107.07 q/ha in comparison to other tested treatments. Combination of ZnSo4 @ 25 kg/ha increased the bulb productivity by 8.00 q/ha. Similarly spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha increased the bulbs production by 4.06 q/ha and safe the crop from natural hazards  i.e., from fog and frost. Application of 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha displayed the maximum net profit by Rs. 408115/ha, which was superior over other tested treatments. The lowest net income was found under farmers practice. (Rs. 254440/ha). The highest BCR (6.53) computed with 120kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha, while lowest noted under farmers practice (4.45). The 1.60 fold  net income increased under applied dose of 120 kg N + 60 kg P205 + 60 kg K20 + 25 kg ZnSo4 + spraying of Tresol @ 1.25 lit/ha.
