The influence of planting method, planting time and size of planting material on garlic yield (Allium sativum L.) cv. Jamnagar local was carried out during 2011-13 at Model Orchard, College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar. Significant differences among the planting methods, planting dates and the size of planting materials were observed for all the characters studied during both the years of investigation. Among the methods of planting, ridge and furrow method of planting (S2) was consistently superior for yield per plant, yield per plot, yield per hectare, number of cloves per bulb, size of cloves and per cent large sized bulbs, over the flat bed method of planting (S1) during both the years of study. Further, planting on October 1st (D1) was noticed to be uniformly superior for the yield per plant, plot and hectare, number of cloves per bulb, size of cloves, per cent large sized bulbs, studied, over planting in November 1st (D2) during both the years of study. The results also revealed that planting of 2.5g size cloves (P4) was 2.0g size cloves (P3) superior in terms of higher yield per plant, yield per hectare number of cloves per bulb, size of cloves, per cent large sized bulbs, during both the years of investigation, compared to planting of 1.5g size (P2) and 1.0g size (P1) cloves. The various interaction effects due to method of planting, date of planting and size of planting material were however, found to be significant for yield per plant and yield per hectare, number of cloves per bulb and size of cloves during both the years of investigation. Planting in ridge and furrow method during October with 2.5g sized cloves (S2D1P4) uniformly recorded maximum yield per plant, yield per plot and yield per hectare, number of cloves per bulb and size of cloves, during both the years of investigation. Further, among the two-way interactions studied, planting in ridge and furrow method during October (S2D1); planting in ridge and furrow method with 2.5g size cloves (S2P4); and planting during October with 2.5g size cloves (D1P4) were also noticed to result in maximum yield per plant, yield per hectare, number of cloves per bulb and size of cloves and at all the growth stages, during both the years of investigation. In conclusion, early planting in October under ridge and furrow method with large sized cloves had resulted in higher yield and quality of garlic.
