This study was conducted to investigate the water content, carbohydrate and bulb development according to different clipping time of leaf sheath for drying after garlic harvesting in the field. The garlic cultivar 'Namdo' Southern ecotype in Muan region was harvested on May 25, May 30 and June 13. Water content and carbohydrate of garlic plants were observed at harvest date (May 30), and leaf sheaths were clipping 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 16 days after harvest. Water content of clipping leaf sheath at harvest time slightly decreased from 79.3 to 65.8% according to drying days.
