In the conducted experiment the effect of covers application (perforated foil, white polypropylene non—woven) and method of clove planting (in rows – one clove per point, two cloves per point and 3 cloves per point) of Polish garlic cultivar ‘Jarus’ was estimated. The cloves were planted in the first 10 days of April, at planting density 20×6 cm.
Significantly higher yield of garlic was obtained when plants were grown under flat covers. Coincidentally, better productive effects were obtained when 3 cloves were planted per point. Moreover, it was proved that planting 2 and 3 cloves per point had a significant effect on higher plant weight, including leaves weight, in comparison with traditional planting method (planting 1 clove per point).
