Abstract
This investigation aimed to study the influence of magnetized irrigation water, compost addition and levels of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers moreover their interactions on growth, yield and its components, chemical composition and storability of garlic (Allium sativum L.) Sids - 40 under Mansoura district, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt ecological conditions. Methods & Results: This experiment was carried out in a strip-split plot design with three replicates. Each experiment included 12 treatments. Results In view of obtained and discussed results, it was found that irrigation garlic plants (Allium sativum L.) Sids - 40 with magnetized water, compost addition at the rate of 10 m3/fed was incorporated in the soil before planting as well as, mineral nitrogen and potassium fertilizing at 100% of the recommended dose (120 kg N/fed), (48 kg K2O/fed) gave the highest values of yield and quality parameters and increased the storability. Conclusion: In view of obtained and discussed results, it was found that irrigation garlic plants (Allium sativum L.) Sids - 40 with magnetized water, compost addition at the rate of 10 m3/fed was incorporated in the soil before planting as well as, mineral nitrogen and potassium fertilizing at 100% of the recommended dose (120 kg N/fed), (48 kg K2O/fed) gave the highest values of yield and quality parameters and increased the storability (shelf-life), but application of 75% of the recommended mineral nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, compost addition and irrigation with magnetized water is recommended due to its beneficial effects of minimizing the environmental pollution and production costs as well as, reducing nitrate and nitrite content in heads garlic which in turn have a positive effect on consumer health.
