ABSTRACT
Seven different plant densities ( 0.44, 0.53, 0.67, 0.8, 1.0, 1.3 and 2.0 million plants ha-1) and two weed control methods (manual and chemical), compared with no weeding as control, were evaluated in different combinations to find the best interaction for effective rust control and high production in garlic. The lowest value (65.33) of area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was recorded in treatment where plant population @ 1 million ha-1 and hand weeding were used. Yield (14 t ha-1) and bulb index (4.6 cm) in this treatment were statistically at par with their respective highest values indicating that its performance was better than other treatments in rust control and garlic yield.
