Abstract
Production of good productivity of garlic for both consumption and economic value is the goal of most farmers/producers. However, soil fertility depletion and erratic rainfall are among the major constraints to sustain production of the crop due to limited fertilizer type/sources application and rainfall dependence. Thus, to elucidate this problem a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different types of compound/blended fertilizers on growth, yields and economic benefits of garlic under both irrigation and rain-fed conditions at DebreZeit Agricultural Research Centre, Ethiopia, on both Andosols and Vertisols in 2013/14. The treatments consisted of control (unfertilized), Diammonium phosphate(NP), Azofertil(NS), Basic(NPKCaO) and D-coder(NPSZn) compound fertilizers each applied at 200kgha -1 . The experiment was laidout in randomized complete block design in three replications on both soils.
