Abstract:
Planting methods and sowing time play important role in increasing the yield and production of garlic crop. A field experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Agriculture, Khalsa College, and Amritsar during the year 2020-21 to investigate the effect of planting time and planting methods on the performance of garlic (Allium sativum L.) under Punjab conditions. Eight treatments with three replications were designed to conduct the research. The obtained results showed the significant synergistic effect of planting methods with early date of sowing on the growth, yield and quality of garlic as over the flat planting method with late sowing date. Better vegetative and yield characters were observed in the raised bed method as compared to flat method. Planting time 10^th September also gave best result which was at par with 20^th September.
