An experiment entitled, studies on integrated nitrogen management on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) cv. ‘Agrifound White’ was carried out with total thirteen treatments and three replications. Among the various treatments 100 percent nitrogen through vermicompost (T11) was significantly superior over other treatments except 100% N through poultry manure with respect to growth, yield and quality parameters. Maximum neck thickness (11.72 mm and 13.90 mm) was noted at 90 and 125 days after planting respectively, number of leaves (7.64, 8.13 and 8.72) was recorded at 45, 90 and 125 days after planting respectively, maximum length (30.78 mm) and width of clove (8.12 mm), bulb diameter (4.54 cm), average weight of bulb (34.84 g), number of cloves per bulb (25.79), and yield per plot ( 4.37 kg) and per hectare (83.08 q), also quality parameter viz., TSS ( 41.93 ˚brix ) and crude protein content (7.81 %) were recorded maximum in treatment T11.
