An investigation on the project entitled “Effect of bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of garlic (Allium sativum Linn.)” was taken up in the Horticultural Garden of Janta College, Bakewar, Etawah, U.P. which falls under sub-tropical climatic region during 2011-12 to work-out the optimum dose of the three bio-fertilizer and their combination on garlic variety-G1. Fourteen treatments namely, a control receiving FYM as basal dose @ 20 ton/ha + RDF (100:50:50) (T0), Azotobactor 6 kg/ha (T1), Azotobactor 8 kg/ha (T2), PSB 6 kg/ha (T3), PSB 8 kg/ha (T4), VAM 6 kg/ha (T5), VAM 8 kg/ha (T6), Azotobactor 6 kg/ha + PSB 6 kg/ha+ VAM 6 kg/ha (T7), Azotobactor 6 kg/ha + PSB 8 kg/ha+ VAM 8 kg/ha (T8), Azotobactor 6 kg/ha+ PSB 6 kg/ha + VAM 8 kg/ha (T9), Azotobactor 6 kg/ha+ PSB 8 kg/ha+ VAM 6 kg/ha (T10), Azotobactor 8 kg/ha+ PSB 6 kg/ha+ VAM 6 kg/ha (T11), Azotobactor 8 kg/ha+ PSB 8 kg/ha + VAM 8 kg/ha (T12), Azotobactor 8 kg/ha + PSB 6 kg/ha+ VAM 8 kg/ha (T13), Azotobactor 8 kg/ha+ PSB 8 kg/ha+ VAM 6 kg/ha (T14) applied into soil prior to transplanting of seed cloves. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications having plot size 3 sq.mt. The combination of treatments namely Azotobactor 8 kg/ha + PSB 8 kg/ha+ VAM 8 kg/ha (T12) resulted the best optimal doze for garlic giving average plant height 79.83 cm, average number of leaves 9.86, average diameter of pseudo stem 1.13 cm, average weight of bulb 38.03 g and 5.96 kg average yield per plot are better for yield and profit at less cost.
