“…The findings of this study indicated that bulb weight of garlic was significantly affected by spacing and Increasing of intra-row spacing from 10 to 20 cm significantly increased bulb weight. This finding is full agreement with research findings of Darabi and Dehghani [11]; Adejpe et al [15] and Abubakar et al [14] who reported that increasing intra row spacing decreased the total bulb yield but increased the mean weights of bulbs and cloves. The reason for this might be due to the lowest spacing might increase nutrient competition as well as increase disease severity.…”

Garlic rust is caused by Puccinia allii (Rudolphi) extremely hinder the productivity of Alliaceae species, especially garlic (Allium sativum). The disease has been found wherever garlics are cultivated and at present no system of control has been found that fully prevents the occurrence of the disease. A field experiment was conducted to determine the optimum planting density for abating garlic rust in order to maximize yield of garlic. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications, garlic local cultivar (Chiro) and three levels of intra-row spacing (10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm) were included in the study. Disease incidence and severity, plant height, Bulb yield, bulb diameter, Days to maturity, Plant height, Total yield (t/ha), Bulb weight (gm), Bulb diameter, Number of cloves per bulb and Clove weight were analyzed using SAS software. The result of the study revealed that the spacing was varied significantly in disease incidence and severity and in aforementioned agronomic data. The maximum yield was observed from plot planted with 10 cm intra row spacing where was the minimum value of yield was recorded at plot planted with 20 intra row spacing. The results explained that increasing intra-row spacings from 10 to 20 cm decreased significantly (P ≤ 0.05) in disease incidence and severity simultaneously increased yield of garlic. Based on the results obtained, it could be concluded that spacing 10cmx30cm is optimal for better production of garlic under disease conditions.

“…According to Albuquerque et.al (2017), correlations among several quantitative parameters evaluated were verified using phenotypical correlation coefficients because most of them were significant (r>0.7). Bulb production is correlated with the vegetative growth (Adekpe et al, 2007). Garlic plants with well-developed vegetative structures have effective source-drain systems for nutrient and photoassimilate translocation to the bulbs from the leaves and the pseudo-stems.…”

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important edible bulbous crop with unique culinary and medicinal purposes. It is a major cash crop widely cultivated in Libokemkem and other districts of South Gondar zone of Amhara Region in Ethiopia. However, productivity of garlic in Ethiopia in general and in South Gondar Zone in particular is very low largely due to the use of unimproved local cultivars and traditional cultural practices. Five different improved cultivars of garlic were then evaluated for yield and yield components under rain-fed production practice. This acclimatization and performance evaluation at three different locations (Angot, Ginaza and Woreta) was laid in randomized complete block design with three replications. Cultivar Adiszemene local (55.44, 39.82 and 22.28 quintal per hectare (q/ha)) produced consistently high dry bulb yield at the three locations. Cultivar Chefe was found to be the lowest yielding at Angot (16.07 q/ha) and Ginaza (22.56 q/ha), whereas cultivars Kuriftu (11.92 q/ha) and Tsedey (10.06 q/ha) were the lowest yielding at Woreta indicating profound effect of environment on yield. Overall result revealed that statistically significant (P<0.05) high dry bulb yield (39.18 q/ha) was recorded in cultivar Adizemene local, followed by cultivar Holleta (31.32 q/ha). These cultivars with consistent high performance and wide adaptability would then be demonstrated and popularized for wide spread cultivation.

“…Moreover, the result of Reference [33] agrees with this study. Water and other inputs interact with each other and their improper combination could reduce of 16 yield as reported in Reference [34]. Shock [32] recommended that the vegetative development stage is the most important stage to maximize canopy formation and yield.…”

Water resources in sub-Saharan Africa are more overstressed than in many other regions of the world. Experiments on commercial farms have shown that conservation agriculture (CA) can save water and improve the soil. Nevertheless, its benefits on smallholder irrigated farms have not been adequately investigated, particularly in dry monsoon phase in the Ethiopian highlands. We investigated the effect of conservation agriculture (grass mulch cover and no-tillage) on water-saving on smallholder farms in the Ethiopian highlands. Irrigated onion and garlic were grown on local farms. Two main factors were considered: the first factor was conservation agriculture versus conventional tillage, and the second factor was irrigation scheduling using reference evapotranspiration (ETo) versus irrigation scheduling managed by farmers. Results showed that for both onion and garlic, the yield and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) was over 40% greater for CA than conventional tillage (CT). The soil moisture after irrigation was higher in CA compared with CT treatment while CA used 49 mm less irrigation water. In addition, we found that ETo-based irrigation was superior to the farmers’ irrigation practices for both crops. IWUE was lower in farmers irrigation practices due to lower onion and garlic yield responses to overirrigation and greater water application variability.
