I am interesting to refer and review such experimental and laboratory literature, in Indian contexts. Is it possible to grow the clove of garlic within a short period of time with healthy nature, which will be sustain even in slight to worst climatic changes in forthcoming some weeks.
Dear Avinash Kadam
Well-drained soils with a pH between 6 and 7.0 are best for growing garlic. The suitable growth temperature for garlic is 13 to 24 °C. Long days and high temperatures during the growing season encourage bulb formation. The soil must be kept evenly moist because dry soil will cause irregularly shaped bulbs. Please also see the attached file.
Dear Avinash Kadam
Usually, plant garlic gloves start end of November ,Short days, cold, Winter (Syria, Damascus) the best soil pH 7, and its work with a good yield, Best of luck

Production guidelines: Garlic - Department of Agriculture
Soil requirements
Garlic grows best in well drained fertile soils that are high in organic matter.
Incorporating compost or well-rotted manure into heavy soils will result in the
soil being friable and suitable for production. Malformation and difficulty when
harvesting bulbs may result when garlic has been planted in heavy, clay soils.
The optimum soil pH for garlic is between 6 and 7. Before planting, the soils
should be well tilled to provide a loose growing bed for bulb development. The
soil must be kept evenly moist because dry soil will cause irregularly shaped
bulbs.
The above comments are good and relevant for garlic cultivation. We in India grow this crop fairly abundantly I don not have idea if our garlic farmers and garliec researccgers are awae. But from my observations, I found the garlic grown elsewhere is large sized bulbs unlike ours,Y do hope Indian colleagues will look into these aspects.
