Abstract
Efficient methods for cultivating garlic plants are disclosed. Bulbils, which are smaller but available in a larger number per plant than cloves, are used in: a first method for cultivating garlic plant, wherein bulbils of a garlic plant are planted in spring for cultivation after stored for wintering at a temperature not inducing fleshy clove formation; a second method of cultivating garlic plants, wherein a garlic plant in which fleshy clove formation may have been induced (e.g., one which has been exposed to a low temperature in winter) is warmed to negate the state of fleshy clove formation, then the bulbils thereof are planted in spring for cultivation; and a third method of cultivating garlic plants, wherein a garlic plant which has been harvested in the Southern Hemisphere and has not wintered is transported to the Northern Hemisphere, and the bulbils thereof are planted in spring for cultivation. According to the methods of the present invention, a garlic plant which has been planted in spring continues vegetative growth without withering its epigeal part during summer when the day length is long, efficiently yielding bulbs comparable to those obtained by conventional cultivation from cloves.
