DOI: MAXIMIZING GROWTH AND YIELD: ASSESSING PLANTING TIME AND SYSTEM FOR GARLIC GERMPLASM
Mehedi Hasan Mirza , Dept. of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, BangladeshAbstract
This study investigates the impact of planting time and planting system on the growth and yield of selected garlic germplasm. Garlic (Allium sativum) is an important crop cultivated worldwide for its culinary and medicinal properties. The timing of planting and the choice of planting system can significantly influence the growth, development, and yield of garlic. Through field experiments and data analysis, this research assesses the effects of different planting times and systems on key growth parameters such as plant height, bulb size, and yield per hectare. The findings aim to provide insights into optimizing garlic production practices for enhanced growth and yield under varying environmental conditions.
