- Intervention effect Humic acid at 2 g/L with potassium citrate at 5 mL/L produced the highest garlic bulb productivity.
- Intervention effect Humic acid with potassium citrate produced garlic bulbs with the highest diameter.
- Intervention effect Humic acid and potassium citrate treatments significantly varied garlic antioxidant activity.
- Intervention effect Humic acid and potassium citrate treatments significantly varied garlic total carbohydrate content.
- Intervention effect Humic acid and potassium citrate treatments significantly varied garlic sulfur content.
- Observation Garlic essential oils contained dimethyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, and methyl 2-propenyl trisulfide as main compounds.
- Observation Garlic essential oils contained allitridin, methyl allyl disulfide, and allyl tetrasulfide as main compounds.
- Intervention effect Increasing garlic essential oil concentration to 4000 µg/mL increased inhibition of Fusarium proliferatum growth.
- Intervention effect Increasing garlic essential oil concentration to 4000 µg/mL increased inhibition of Macrophomina phaseolina growth.
- Recommendation The authors recommend high humic acid with potassium citrate at 5 or 10 mL/L to improve garlic productivity and essential oil content.
