7. 0
CLIMATE :-
Wide range of climatic conditions.
Cannot stand too hot or too cold weather.
Prefers moderate temperature in summer as well as in winter.
Short days promote secondary growth and suppressed bulbing.
Optimum temperature for bulb formation : 25-30 C
Elevations of 1000 to 1300 m above MSL.
8. -1
SOIL:-
Well drained, fertile soils suited.
Soil pH between 6 to 7.
Soil should be well tilled to provide a loose growing bed for bulb
development.
The soil must be kept evenly moist because dry soil will cause
irregularly shaped bulbs.
Tolerate salinity : 5.60 to 7.80 dsm EC.

14. st
nd
SEASON:-
Grown in two seasons.
1 season: June – July
2 season: October – November
PROPAGATION:-
Garlic is propagated by cloves.
300 to 500 kg cloves/ha
Dibbling or Furrow planting.
15. Dibbling -
The field is divided into small plots convenient for
irrigation
Cloves may be dibbled 5 to 7.5cm deep, keeping their
growing ends upwards at a distance 7.5×15 cm
Furrow planting: -
The furrows are made 15 cm.
In these furrows, cloves are dropped by hand 7.5 to 10
cm apart.
They are covered lightly with loose soil and a light
irrigation is given.
16. MANURES & FERTILISERS :-
25 tonnes of FYM is applied as a basal dose.
60 kg Nitrogen and 50 kg each of Phosphorus and Potash.
Forty five days after planting, 60 kg Nitrogen is applied again as top
dressing.
IRRIGATION:-
Garlic needs irrigation at 8 days intervals during vegetative growth and
10-15 days during maturation.
17. HARVESTING:-
Ready in 4 ½ to 5 months
Maturity indices- leaves start turing yellowish or brownish and show
signs of drying.
Plants are pulled out and tied into small bundles
Keep them in field for 2-3 days.
YIELD:-
50 to 110 q/ha.
18. PLANT PROTECTION :-
Important Pests-
Thrips-
Thrips cause withering of leaves.
Controlled by spraying Methyl dematon 25 EC 1 ml/lit.
Nematode-
Controlled by the application of Carbofuran 3 G 1 kg
a.i./ha 30 days after planting.
19. Important Diseases-
White rot: Sclerotium cepivorum, S. rolfsii
Leaves decay at the base, turn yellow, wilt and topple over
Roots and bulbs covered with a fluffy white mycelium
Affected bulbs may become watery, and the outer scales crack as the bulb dries
and shrinks
Management
Rotating out ofAllium crops for ten years
Destroying infected tissue and Planting disease free seed stock.
Seed dressing with carbendazim (100-150 g/kg of seed)
20. Basal rot: Fusarium oxysporum
Plants - show reduced emergence, yellowing or browning
(necrosis) of leaves beginning at tips
Reduced bulb size, bulb decay, and brown, poorly developed
root systems
Deep cracks form in the cloves,
Management
Avoid rotations withAllium spp.(e.g. onions and leeks).
Store bulbs at cool temperatures and low humidity with good ventilation
Avoid storing damaged bulbs
