Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2015
/2016 and 2016/2017 in a Vegetative Private Farm at Hehia Distract, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to
study the effect of lithovit as foliar application on dry weight, productivity and storability of two garlic
cultivars (Balady and Sides 40). The obtained results were as follows: the interaction between Balady
cultivar and spraying with lithovit at 5 g/l, increased dry weight of leaves, bulb and leaves + bulb dry
weight/plant at 105 and 135 days after planting, and decreased fresh weight loss percentage in bulbs
during storage period (180 days from storage) in both seasons. Also, the interaction between Balady
cultivar and spraying with lithovit at 3 g/l, increased yield of grades 1, 2 and 3, exportable, marketable
and total yield, as well as average bulb weight. On the other hand, Sides 40 cultivar without spraying
with lithovit recorded the maximum values in yield of grade 4 in both seasons.
