Research Index

In Fall 2005, participating grarlic growers in eleven trial locations planted three sites of sixteen cloves of each of the 10 garlic types, or 480 cloves. Input from each trial location will be used to correlate the yield of 10 distinct garlic cultivars with location, inputs, quality, and chemical composition data. Progress reports, observations, photos, research data and conclusions will be posted here as it is made available. Project conclusions are anticipated in 2008.
