| Abstract | ||
| Two field experiments were conducted during the two successive winter seasons of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 at Sids Horticulture Research Station, Beni Suef Governorate, Egypt to investigate the response of garlic clove (Eggaseed-1 cv.) for humic acid soil application and pre sowing treatments, i.e., soaking in water for 24h then placing in moist peat-moss until root initiation, Soaking in Gibberellic acid (GA3) 10 ppm or humic acid (50 g/L water) for 12h, cooling at 5oC or 10oC for 20 days, water soaking for 12h and dry clove treatment (control) as well as their interactions. Application of 6 kg/fed. potassium humate interacted with Cloves soaked in water for 24h then placed in moist peat-moss until root initiation gave the highest germination percentage after 30 days from planting, plant height, leaves number/plant and nick diameter as well as improved yield and yield component parameters as plant fresh weight, bulb diameter, bulb dry matter, total fresh and cured yield followed by humate potassium plus soaking cloves in 10 ppm GA3 for 12h recommended to produce higher yield with better quality of Eggaseed-1 cv. | ||
