More Information
Summary:Mostly garlic is used for home consumption in various forms for cooking purpose either as spices or condiments. [...]it has great importance because of its medicinal value and is used for curing of various cardiovascular diseases, stomach diseases, sore eyes, earache, as it contains considerable amount of minerals and Vitamins (Kumar et al., 2010; Mengesha and Azene, 2015). Several factors i.e. unavailability of appropriate disease free seeds (Cloves), inappropriate agronomic practices i.e. sowing time, seed rate, irrigation and fertilizer requirement along with poor pest and disease management are responsible for low productivity of garlic (Javed et al., 2008; Mengesha and Azene, 2015). Materials and Methods The experiment "Impact of plant spacings on garlic rust, bulb yield and yield components of garlic" was conducted at National Tea and High Value Crops Research Institute (NTHRI) Shinkiari, Mansehra Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan during the year 2016-17, at an altitude of 1000 meter above the sea level. [...]the highest total bulb yield and the lowest mean weights of bulb and clove were produced with spacing of 10 cm.
