An experiment was conducted to study the effect of planting time and plant densities on yield and quality of garlic at Model Orchard, College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during the period from November 2011 to April 2012. The objective of the work was to find out appropriate planting time and plant densities on yield and quality of garlic in delayed rabi season. There were four planting dates viz., 1st, 15th November and 1st, 15th December comprising the main treatments, and six densities with spacings of 10 × 5 cm (900 plants/plot), 15 × 5 cm (600 plants/plot), 20 × 5 cm (450 plants/plot), 10 × 7.5 cm (600 plants/plot), 15 × 7.5 cm (400 plants/plot) and 20 × 7.5 cm (300 plants/plot) as the sub-treatments were used as the experimental treatments. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications with plot size of 3.0 m × 1.5 m. Significantly maximum yield (88.75 q/ha) was recorded in crop planted on 1st November when compared to other dates of planting. Delayed planting in garlic from November 1st on wards yield reduced chronologically in later plantings. Higher density showed better performance over lower density. The quality parameters were found to be on par in all the treatments.
