Subject(s): Online resources: In: Minufiya Journal of Agricultural Research 2010. v.35(6)Summary: This study was carried out at private farm under clay soil at Shoubra belola, Kotour, Gharbia governorate, Egypt during the two successive winter seasons of 2007-2008 and 2oo8-2009. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of humic acid, different application methods of potassium fertilizer and their combinations on the growth, yield, quality and storability of garlic (cv. Balady). Results showed that, vegetative growth, yield, quality, storability and N, P, K contents of bulbs and leaves were increased by applying humic acid (\HA) or potassium fertilizer (K) and their combinations. Soil application of HA at 5 kg/fed. plus foliar application of 3% K₂O + 48 kg K₂O/fed. as soil dressing (K4) resulted in the best results in this respect By applying this treatment the producers can add the requirements of garlic from potassium fertilizer by an alternative method of application and cheaper potassium forms consequently, saving the quantity of potassium chemical fertilizer.
