“…The significant increase in growth characters by clove topping and cold storage could possibly be due to early sprouting of cloves, which enabled proper vegetative growth. Such an increase in vegetative growth by topping [ 38 , 39 ] and cool temperature [ 4 , 5 ] resulted in increased leaf growth of the plant. In agreement with this, Dutcher and Powell [ 40 ] and Singha and Powell [ 41 ], who used apple (Malus domestica Borkh cv Northern Spy) buds, found that ABA inhibited bud break and shoot elongation.…”

Dormancy of freshly harvested garlic cloves does not allow early emergence, and preplanting garlic clove treatment is critical for more than one cycle of production in a year. This field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of treating cloves on emergence, growth, and yield of “Tseday” variety during the main cropping season of 2014/2015 and off-season of 2015/16 at Haramaya University. The experiment was arranged in a factorial combination of four (cold stored at 7°C for the duration of 10, 20, and 30 days and stored at room temperature 21°C for 30 days as control), two (whole and topped clove), and four GA3 treatment at concentration of 0, 125, 250, and 375 mg/l and distilled water treatment as second control laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The three main factors (clove type, cold storage duration, and GA3) and growing season showed significant influence on phenology, growth, bulb yield and yield components, and all size categories of cloves, while GA3 showed nonsignificant effect on days to emergence of cloves. Clove type interacted with cold storage duration and GA3, and cold storage duration interacted with GA3 significantly to influence all characters of the variety. In addition, the growing season also interacted with clove type and GA3 to influence all categories of clove size, bulb diameter, average bulb weight, and total bulb yield. The three main factors (clove type × cold storage duration × GA3) interaction significantly influenced all characteristics of the variety. However, 30 days of cold-stored and topped cloves reduced dormancy period and days to maturity by 18.84 and 19.50 days, respectively, and increased total bulb yield by 70.32% as compared to the control treatment. In addition, this treatment combination significantly increased most of the growth and bulb yield components, while the number and weight of small-sized cloves were decreased. Hence, it can be concluded that 30 days of cold storage and topping of cloves without soaking under GA3 could be recommended to enhance early emergence, good vegetative growth, and total bulb yield of the garlic variety both under rain-fed and irrigated conditions.

“…The early growth stage of garlic is suited by exposure of cloves to low temperature. Such exposure could be achieved using controlled temperature chambers such as refrigerators [ 3 ] or planting in a cool growing period, and this treatment is essential for proper development of shoot and good yield of bulb [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…Clove sprouting and emergence are controlled mainly by temperature (Takagi, 1990). While Ade-Ademilua et al (2009) found that pre-planting cold treatment of garlic cloves enhanced total leaf area, fresh and dry weight of plants under open shade. Plants from treated cloves had better yield (clove, bulb, clove size and clove dry weight) than plants from untreated cloves.…”

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 peatmoss until root initiation, Soaking in Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) 10 ppm or humic acid (50 g/L water) for 12h, cooling at 5 o C or 10 o C 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 peatmoss until root initiation gave the highes t 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 GA 3 for 12h recommended to produce higher yield with better quality of Eggaseed-1 cv.

“…This could be due to cold treatment that dramatically accelerated the rate of shoot extension due to GA-like substances, which induces the production of hydrolytic enzymes. Bhuiya et al [35] and Ade-Ademilua et al [36] reported that cool temperature storage helps to enhance shoot growth, indicating that garlic cloves treated with cold temperature could have enhanced vegetative growth, which increased shoot dry mass of the plant.…”

Dormancy of garlic (Allium sativum L.) creates a problem in use of freshly harvested garlic bulbs. Thus, pre-planting treatment of garlic cloves is an important agronomic concern for inducing and improving sprouting behavior of garlic. Glasshouse experiment was conducted at Haramaya University to evaluate the effect of cold storage (7°C) durations (10, 20, 30 days and one stored at room temperature that is 21°C for 30 days), clove topping (whole and cut) and gibberellic acid concentrations (0, 125, 250 and 375 mg/l) and distilled water treatment as second control on sprouting behavior of improved garlic variety ('Tseday'). The treatments were laid out in factorial arrangement with three replications using completely randomized design (CRD). For cloves stored at ambient temperature (0 day) and non-topped, gibberellic acid application (250 and 375 mg/l) showed a significant increase in sprouting percentage, speed of sprouting and shoot dry mass of garlic as compared to 125mg/l GA3 treated and the controls. On the other hand, for topped cloves stored at ambient temperature (0 day), 10 and 20 days cold storage, gibberellic acid treatment did not show a significant influence on these characteristics as compared to the controls. The interaction effect of 30 days cold stored and topped cloves significantly increased pseudo-stem height (40.51%) compared to the lowest values recorded for the non-cold treated and non-topped cloves. The 30 days cold stored and topped cloves soaked in water significantly increased sprouting percentage over the period of 19 days after planting, speed of sprouting (four fold) and above ground shoot dry mass (79.41%) compared to the lowest values recorded for the non-cold treated and non-topped cloves not soaked in water and gibberellic acid (GA3). Hence, it can be concluded that 30 days cold storage, topping and soaking in water could enhance early sprouting of the garlic variety tested under glasshouse condition.
