Abstract
Two field experiments were carried out in sandy loam soil at El-Sofia village (Private Farm), Awlad Sacker, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt on Chinese garlic (Sids-40) during the winter growing seasons of 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. The aim of this study was to study effect of soaking seed cloves in running water for 0, 24, 48 and 72hours, soaking in running water for 0, 24, 48 and 72hours, then stratification of seed cloves in wet Jute for 24 hours and the effect of cold storage of seed cloves at 7˚C for 0, 1, 2 and 3weeks, before planting. The treatments also included the effect of planting date (15th August, 1st September) on plant growth, yield and its components, as well as bulbs and cloves traits. The obtained results showed that plantingdate (1st September) led to significant increases in all tested characteristics of dry weight, total yieldand its components, as well as of bulbs quality. Soaking seed cloves in running water for 24 hours before planting led to significant increases in dry weight, total yield and its components. Moreover quality of bulbs improved compared with the control and the other treatments. Positive interaction between planting dates and soaking, soaking plus stratification and cold storage for seed cloves before planting were often observed.
