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 secondary growth, yield and quality of "Kisswani" garlic cultivar were studied in the Jordan Valley and Jubeiha during the 1990-1991 season. Highest bulb yield was produced when seed cloves were stored at room temperature and planted early in October. This yield was decreased with each decrease in storage temperature and with each month delay in planting from October to January. However, delayed planting was more effective than decreased storage temperature in reducing bulb yield. Secondary growth was increased significantly by decreasing storage temperature to 0 deg C and by early planting in October and November. The values of quality parameters of bulb fresh and dry weights and bulb diameter were decreased with decrease in storage temperature from room, 10 deg C to 0 deg C and with each month delay in planting from October to January in both locations. Greater number of cloves per bulb was produced from low storage temperature and with earlier planting
