Effects of pre-planting storage temperature of seed cloves (Room, 10 and 0 deg C) and planting date (Oct, Nov, Dec 1990 and Jan 1991) on growth and bulbing of "Kisswani" garlic cultivar were studied in the Jordan Valley and Jubeiha during the 1990-1991 season. In the Jordan Valley, emergence rate was promoted by decreasing storage temperature to 0 deg C and by delaying planting to Dec and Jan. Early planting in Oct or Nov, and decreased storage temperature to 0 deg C promoted emergence rate in Jubeiha. Emergence percentage of garlic in the Jordan Valley was increased significantly by delaying planting to Dec and by increased storage temperature. In Jubeiha, although storage temperature had not significant effect on emergence percentage, early planting in Oct and Nov. increased emergence percentage significantly. High storage temperature and early planting increased plant height, neck diameter and leaf number per plant. Number of days to definite bulbing and maturity was reduced with decreased storage temperature of seed cloves and with delaying planting. The effects of storage temperature and planting date on bulbing and maturity were not the same at the two locations
