Does Garlic (Allium Sativum L) Growth Parameters Significantly Affected by NPSZnB Blended Fertilizer and Crop Rotation at Debre Berhan Condition
Kebede Tedila Tadesse
ABSTRACT
Garlic (Allium sativum L, 2n=16) belongs to the family Alliaceae and is the second most widely used Allium species next to onion. Garlic is a frost-tolerant, perennial bulbous herb that stands upright and is 30-100 cm tall with narrow flat leaves that bear small white flowers and bulbils. For this reason, it is grown largely in the Debre Berhan areas. This experiment is laid out 40cm between blocks x 20 cm between plots x 5cm between plants in our living compound at Debre Berhan Metropolitan City. The result showed that there is a significant difference in the tested parameters. From the analysis ANOVA, applying NPSZnB blended fertilizer generally increases leaf length and plant height compared to plant sown in the rotation field.
