Garlic (Allium sativum) is one the natures versatile medicine plant, it is an important vegetable in Egypt. Mixture agriculture system was used to increase yield in various crops. Three garlic cultivars were used ; Balady,Sids40 and Eggaseed1. The garlic cultivars and their mixtures were grown for two seasons, the fresh and cured yield were recorded and relative yield total (RYT) and mixture effect were calculated. Significant differences were found between monoculture and mixture system. Mixtures had a positive effect on yield. RYThigher value was found with the "Mixture 80% Balady+20%" of either colored (Sids 40 or Eggaseed1) recording 0.896 and 0.929 respectively; and the same mixture gave a higher value of fresh yield. For the mixture effect% the higher value was founded with the mixture 80% Balady+20% Eggaseed1or Sids 40. Mixture cultivar system reduce disease severity of garlic purple blotch disease, and the data showed there was a significant differences between mixtures and monoculture for the sensitivity of garlic cultivars to this disease.
