The responses of root elongation, emergence, and plant height of 'Namdo' garlic cultivar, southern type, cultivated under different water potential were observed. The garlic plants seed in vermiculite with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 solution were grown under 22/18℃ and 14/10 h day/night in a growth chamber. Using the following water osmotic potential (WOP) levels were made 0 (control), -0.05, -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, -0.4, -0.6, and -0.8 MPa by PEG. In high WOP as a control, -0.05 and -0.1 MPa, rooting number and root length were increased over 15 and 1.8 cm per plant at 8 days after sowing (DAS).
