Large, medium and small seed cloves weighing 140, 86 and 40 g per 100 cloves respectively were planted and harvested at 8 different dates at fortnight interval from 28 to 126 DAP. Significant variations were found among the treatments in all the harvesting dates. Large seed cloves were superior to medium and small seed cloves in bulb yield, biological yield, number of green leaves, total leaf area, fresh leaf weight and plant height. Large cloves also produced significantly higher individual bulb weight, bulb length, bulb diameter, clove length and clove diameter. A continuous increase in all the characters were found with increasing field duration. But total leaf area, fresh leaf and root weight decreased at 112 to 125 DAP.
