Two field experiments were carried out at a private farm at El-Manial village, Talkha province, Dakahlia governrate during winter seasons of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. The study aimed to investigate the effect of N-sources (calcium nitrate, ammonium sulphate, sulphur coated urea and bentonite coated urea), P-sources( super phosphate either powder and granules and rock phosphate) as well as vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) fungi and their interactions on the vegetative growth (plant height, number of leaves/plant, dry weight, leaf area/plant, chlorophyll content/plant, neck diameter, bulb diameter and bulbing ratio) and chemical constituents (N, P, K, NO₃ and NO₂) of garlic plants (Sids-40). The obtained results showed that plant height, dry weight, leaf area/plant, total chlorophyll content, neck diameter and bulb diameter were significantly increased by application of ammonium sulphate, in both seasons, while, number of leaves/plant was not significantly affected by N-sources, in both seasons. Plant height, dry weight, leaf area, total chlorophyll and bulb diameter were significantly increased by application of powder super phosphate, in both seasons, while, number of leaves/plant, neck diameter and bulbing ratio were not significantly affected by P-sources, in both seasons. All measured parameters were significantly increased by inoculation of VAM fungi except of  number of leaves/plant and bulbing ratio were not significantly affected by VAM fungi, in both seasons. Application of sulphur coated urea significantly increased the percentage content of N, P and K and  significantly reduced NO₃ and NO₂, in both seasons and the lowest values of NO₃ and NO₂ obtained by application of bentonite coated urea, in both seasons. Application of granules super phosphate significantly increased N % and K % and the concentration of  NO₃ and NO₂ reduced by using rock phosphate followed by using powder super phosphate, in both seasons, while, P % was not significantly affected by P-sources. Inoculation of VAM fungi significantly increased the concentration of N %, P % and K % and this treatment significantly reduced the concentration of NO₃ and NO₂, in both seasons.
