Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important crop that is widely cultivated for its medicinal and culinary properties. The growth and yield of garlic are influenced by various factors, including planting time and planting system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of planting time and planting system on the growth and yield of selected garlic germplasm. The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with a factorial arrangement. The results of the study showed that planting time and planting system significantly influenced the growth and yield of garlic germplasm. Early planting and raised bed planting were found to be the most effective practices in enhancing the growth and yield of garlic germplasm. These findings suggest that farmers should consider these practices to maximize their garlic production.
