The field experiment entitled “Effect of sources and levels of silicon on growth and yield of garlic cv. Phule Nilima was conducted during Rabi with a view to study the effect of sources and levels of silicon on growth, and yield of Garlic. The present investigation was carried out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Fifteen treatments comprised of five levels of silicon (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg Si ha-1) through three sources of silicon viz. Diatomaceous earth, calcium silicate and bagasse ash.
