Rest and dormancy in garlic

Louis K. Mann and David A. Lewis

Hilgardia, 1956, vol. 26, issue 3

Abstract: Garlic bulbs, both for food and for replanting, are commonly held in storage for many months. If they are planted immediately after harvest, the bulbs do not produce either roots or sprouts, and may be said to be in a state of rest. The rest decreases with time, but the rate of decrease is markedly affected by the temperature at which the bulbs are held. Experiments to determine how length and temperature of storage affect rest in garlic are described in the present paper.
