Effect of nitrogen and potassium on post harvest stored insect pest infestation of two garlic genotypes

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen and potassium on insect pest infestation of two stored garlic varieties. The garlic genotypes were grown at the of Spices Research Center, Bogra during November 2000 to March 2001 and stored in the department of Horticulture of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the period from April , 2001 to October, 2001. The experiment consists of two garmplasm i.e. Accession G19 and G20 with four levels of nitrogen (0, 100, 200, 300 kg N/ha) and potassium (0, 100, 200, 300 kg K2O/ha). The three factorial experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results demonstrated that there was significant variation present among the studied treatments.…
