Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of2016/2017 and 2017/2018 in a private Farm at Hehia Distrect, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to studythe effect of planting date, and foliar spray with potassium silicate on dry weight, bulb yield and itscomponents of Balady and Sids 40 garlic cultivars under clay soil conditions and using flood irrigationsystem. The obtained results indicated that planting Balady cultivar on 1st Oct. and spraying withpotassium silicate (K silicate) at 2 ml/l increased dry weight of leaves/plant, bulb and total dryweight/plant, yield of grades 1, 2, 3 and 4, exportable, marketable and total yield/fad., as well asaverage bulb weight.
