Bulb Yield, Quality and Weight Losses% during Storage of Garlic (Allium Sativum L.) as Affected by using of Phosphorus, Organic (Poultry Manure) Fertilizers with or without Sulphur

Abstract

An important bulb vegetable is garlic with several nutritional and medicinal benefits (Anti-infective properties such as anticancer). The organic manure (poultry manure) is an ecofriendly, economically viable and considered a suitable solution for overcoming environmental pollution and saving chemical fertilizers to improve soil fertility and also increase the qualitative and quantitative Garlic (Allium sativum L.). So, this work was conducted at Mallawi Agriculture Research Station, Minia governorate, Egypt to study the influence of different levels of phosphorus and organic manure (poultry manure) fertilizers with and without sulphur on growth, yield and its components, nutritional value as well as nitrite and nitrate contents of garlic, (cv."Egaseed 1) to improve the qualitative and quantitative and storability of garlic (Allium sativum L.).
