Abstract
The effect of clove size, spacing, fertilisers, and lime on garlic ( Allium sativum ) was studied in a field experiment on Levin silt loam. Treatments were: large or small cloves at 40 or 27/m 2 ; with and without N and K; with low or high P, and lime. Best crop yield (33.9 t/ha fresh weight) resulted from large cloves at close spacing, with N and K, high P, but low lime. Fertiliser and lime need was related to Advisory soil test levels for pH and available Ca, K, P, and Mg. The range of nutrient levels, in youngest mature leaves, associated with maximum crop yield, 6.5 months after planting, was (as % dry matter): N 3.9‐4.7, P 0.26‐0.36, Mg 0.12‐0.20, Ca 0.7‐1.1, Na Nil‐0.03, K 3.4‐4.6, and (in ppm) Mn 50‐100. Compared with 6.5 months, at 8 months leaf nutrients were lower for N, higher for Mg, Ca, Na, and Mn, with little change for P and K. From nutrient content of bulbs at harvest, crop removal was calculated to be (in kg/ha): N 201–244, S 49–64, P 28–36, Mg 5–7, Ca 17–32, Na 0.7–1.6, K 106–127, and Mn 0.11–0.16.
