Response of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) Yield to Combined Biochar, Lime, and Inorganic-Fertilizer Rates in the Case of Gimbi District, Western Ethiopia

Table 2

Effect of combined biochar (CHB), lime (STV), and inorganic-fertilizer (NPSB) rates on garlic yield components: total fresh biomass yield (TFBY), bulb yield fresh weight per plant (BWp), bulb diameter (Bdi), and clove per bulb (C/B).
