Garlic (Alium sativum L) is an important vegetable crop in Ethiopia. However, the yield of the crop is often constrained by low and imbalance nutrient supply in the soil. Therefore a field experiment was conducted at Ambo University, Gudar campus experimental site to study the effect of inorganic NPS fertilizer and organic cattle manure on growth, yield and yield components of garlic (Alium sativum L) during 2019/2020 main cropping season. A Tsadey variety was used for the study. The treatment consisted of four levels of NPS (0, 50, 100 and 150kg ha-1), and four levels of cattle manure (0, 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1). The experiment was laid out as randomized complete block design (RCBD) in factorial arrangement, and replicated three times. The phonological data, such as plant growth, bulb yield and yield components of the crop was collected. The result revealed that the main effects of NPS fertilizer and cattle manure was significantly (p<0.01) affected growth, yield and yield components of garlic such as plant height, days to maturity, leaf length and leaf number per plant and the like. In addition the interaction effects of NPS and CM also significantly (p<0.01) influenced, fresh biomass yield, bulb diameter, total bulb yield and harvest index. The highest total bulb yield 8.62 t ha-1 was recorded from the combination of 150 kg NPS ha-1 and 10 t ha-1 of CM. Marketable yield and mean clove number was significantly influenced by the interaction effect of NPS and CM application, whereas unmarketable bulb yield does not significantly influenced by the interaction of NPS and CM. The highest 8.25 t ha-1 marketable yield was recorded from combined application of 150 kg NPS ha-1 with 10 t ha-1 of CM, while the lowest marketable yield was recorded from the control treatments. Maximum 75.4% harvest index was also recorded from the combined application of 150 NPS kg ha-1 and 10 t ha-1, and the highest benefit (616890 ETB ha-1) was recorded at combined application of 150 kg NPS ha-1 and 10 CM. it can, be concluded that, combined application of 150 kg NPS ha-1 and 10 t CM. led to the maximum growth, yield and yield component of the garlic crop and it is recommended at the study area.
