Effects of planting method, plant density and seed clove size on yield of hamedan garlic

An experiment was conducted at Ecbatan Research Station in Hamedan in two years (1998-99) to study the effects of planting density and methods and also seed clove size on yield of Hamedan garlic. The experiment was in factorial 3 x 3x 3 in randomized complete block design with three cultivation methods, three sizes of seeds and three plant densities in three replications. The data were analized each year and at the end of the second year, combined analysis was done on the data. The results showed that the effects of plant density and seed size on yield were significant, but the cultivation method did not show any effect on yield. Density of 740 thausand plants/ha, seeds clove of 5/5-7 g in weight and planting on two rows, were the best treatments for getting the highest yield in Hamedan conditions.
