The bulbs may be started by handling them on bamboo sticks or by keeping them on dry sand on the floor in a well-ventilated room on the dry floor. In garlic 50 to 70 quintals/ha yield is obtained.

Very educative. My country has very good climate and vast pastures of land for agriculture. Am looking for partners for mechanised agriculture cultivation. Am a politically exposed person so getting into serious farming business is not a big issue. I need sponsors. Regards.
