Abstract
The effect of flue mulching in the growth and bulb production of garlic ( Allium sativum L.) cv. ‘Cateto Roxo’, was evaluated. The soil cover treatments: rice straw, rice husk, smoothing plane, cut grass and dry leaves of tree, was done just after planting and in layers just to cover the soil. It was concluded that mulching favoured initial growing and bulb production. Tested materials were showed to be equivalent however with tendency to rice husk overcome the other ones. KEY-WORDS: Garlic; production; mulching; growth.
